Sculptor
Mahmoud El-Dewihi
Mahmoud El Dewihi, a Cairo-based artist, born in 1978. His hometown Aswan, in Upper Egypt, serves as his primary source of inspiration for the sculptor.
First studied commerce before turning to sculpture after revealing Adam Henein’s work and becoming one of his closest pupils. Following in the footsteps of his forefathers, he works with granite or bronze and demonstrates rural life through its inhabitants, whether peasants or fishermen, mostly along the Nile.
El Dewihi’s straight lines and smooth appearance reveal figures that appear to emerge from the past, through the centuries, as if immortal.
