Hossam Zaki’s collection is the manifestation of the intersection between the Artist’s imagination and his fascination with the Etruscan ancient history. Etruscan art was produced by the Etruscan civilization of ancient Italy between the 9th and 2nd centuries BC. It is an art direction that is particularly strong in this tradition were figurative sculpture in terracotta. The artist collection is influenced by the artist’s postgraduate studies in Etruscan sculpture. In parallel to his preoccupation with the ethereal fairy-tale likeness of dreams, where dreams can both demonstrate the good and the evil. Zaki was also intrigued by the idea that all humans, regardless of their character during the day, seem to rest in child-like peace during their sleep. The idea of dreams provided the artist with a rich visual reserve that was expressed through sleepy and dreamy figures that have childlike appearance. In a sense Zaki’s artwork is an expression of a mythical world produced by his dreamy imagination with hints from ancient history.
