Not everyone who wears a mask hides something. And what the soul
hides is not necessarily evil. The rules of the game do not carry many
possibilities. I may give you one of my masks to share with you pictures
of my world, so I could leave you a piece of myself where God predestined
a meeting that we humans thought was a coincidence.
Who will enlighten you on this path? My game does not correspond to logic, for it
is the one that puts its own logic on all its threads. Leave your mask on
everyone you visit to see yourself in everyone around you. I will keep
to myself this transparent mask, may it be a gateway to see the masks I
carry between my hands that Its owners left it to me with love or hate,
for every mask has its time, and every mask has its features.
About the Artist
Asmaa Samy was born on May 25, 1983. Watercolor virtuoso Asmaa Samy revives the nineteenth-century Impressionist style in her body of work by utilizing delicate washes of various hues to evoke a sense of visual freedom.
Samy has developed an incredible body of work that resonates with such harmony by picturing her paintings as striving for their own harmony, comparable to a musical score. In 2005, Samy graduated from Helwan University’s Faculty of Fine Arts. Her art has subsequently been included in other group exhibitions and seminars in Cairo. Her approach to feeling free is to combine ladies – the subjects of her paintings – and music!
She understands that in the realm of watercolors, all you have to do is build a dialogue between yourself and the movement of water as if you were playing your own melodies and swaying softly to draw you into this beautiful world.
