About The Artwork

Albena 3ala Masr - "Our Heart is with Egypt" (1m by 80cm, Acrylic, relief, manipulation). This painting has been featured in Rebecca Wilson's (Saatchi Online Chief Curator) collection of paintings for under $1000. Note: I'm saddened to say the following was written last week, before June 30th. It helps explain my feeling with this painting. Everything is unclear, apart from the probability of violence. And how disconnected from the youth and general population the government is. Just now, it's so hard to see where the truth lies, but the truth does lie. The military is waiting to play a larger role post June 30th I think, which is a backward step. Here is a new painting, I've been finishing over the last few days. It's about the phrase that everyone says "Albena 3ala Masr" ("Our Heart is with Egypt"), and how that's impossible to know. Arabic words struggle to break through the darkness. Despite the uncertainty the brightness of hope remains, breaking through in colour. To see clearly we need imagination.

My art is inspired by identity, socio-political events, and engaging with new experiences. As a young artist of Arab heritage, many natural inspirations add to the western influence I can draw on, through my lens as a British Egyptian. I find expression through my background, as an Egyptian, which offers many experiences to inform my art, and to encounter and challenge my identity through contemplation of issues. I enjoy the element of discovery when painting, experimenting with techniques, and sometimes giving the paint freedom to choose its own paths. In recent years, I have felt impassioned throughout the seismic changes in Egypt and the Middle East, and my art has served to document my feelings, painting many pictures drawn from my emotive response. BBC World News requested to interview me about my Egypt inspired paintings (with a montage as the studio background); to attempt to represent the feelings of British Egyptians, was a humbling experience. Saatchi Gallery Online twice selected a painting of mine, inspired by Egypt, “Albena 3ala Masr” (“Our Heart is with Egypt”) and “Korsi – Chair, after Van Gogh 1888”, for online collections, chosen by their Head Curator and Gallery Director. الاسم :محمد نجم (مو ستار ارت) ان الفن مستوحي من هويتي والتعامل مع خبرات جديدة مستوحاة من الطبيعة إضافة الي الخبرة الغربية . وحيث أنني شاب بريطاني المنشأ من اصول عربيةفاني من خلال خلفيتي الشرق أوسطية اجد التعبير والتفكير والاستمتاع بعنصر الاكتشاف خلال لوحاتي وتجربة التقنيات وإعطاء الطلاء حرية لاختيارات مساراتي الخاصة.ولقد أجريت لي قناة بي بي سي لأخبار العالم مقابلة خاصة حول الإلهام والوحي المصري في لوحاتي .ومن المهم هو استحضار الشعور بالأحداث والمواضيع القريبة الي قلبي في لوحاتي واني اعرض لوحاتي الفنية في العديد من المعارض في لندن وجميع أنحاء المملكة المتحدة وكذلك في مصر.
