Sculptor
Sayed Waked
Born in May 1976, Graduated from Faculty of Specific Art Education, Cairo University. Member of the Syndicate of Plastic Arts. His upbringing in a rural environment played the greatest role in his artistic life, where he contemplated nature, formed visual stock, and had the possibility of dealing with and experimenting with various natural materials.
After graduation, he worked as a designer in a flame-powered glass factory that produced handcrafted glassware and sculptures, allowing him to discover glass formation from sculpture, engraving, glass beads and decorating the glass. He participated in the plastic movement in Egypt from 2000 to the present. Through many exhibitions, 5 solo exhibitions, 36 group exhibitions, and 7 international participants in Italy, Bulgaria, and Turkey, His participation in the plastic movement varied between drawing, painting, and sculpture, until he devoted himself entirely to the art of forming glass in 2007.
His sculptural glass works vary between pure abstraction and personalization in different shapes, transparent or opaque, and colored, with some silver and gold influences. He is keen that his artwork expresses a human message rather than just artistic relations. Likes to express collective human relations. He seeks the help of the artistic and aesthetic values of the glass material and its expressive meaning, which distinguishes it from other materials.
