"All we know about Hassnaa is her wonderful art," says the Art Egypt team. It's difficult to find much information on this digital illustrator, but she's got a distinct and unmistakable style that speaks of her creativity. Nasr's work includes drawing, computer graphics and installations. Alternating forces are often at play in his images, such as power and control confronted by freedom and liberty. Nasr's art deals with changes in Egyptian society, tackling issues of culture, community, politics and the problems of daily life. His work brings innovation and development to a genre that's often prone to stagnation, says Art Egypt. By Lamiaa AmeenĪ shining example of a contemporary calligrapher, Maghraby is young and began calligraphy very recently but has quickly reached a high standard. Ameen is the only Egyptian who featured at Berlin-artparasites, a Facebook group with 1.7 million followers that shares compelling artwork. "Behind her modest exterior lays a brilliant fascination with human interactions and behaviourism, which she portrays through her sweet yet somewhat dark and blazingly expressive illustrations," says the Art Egypt team. By Aya TarekĪ 26-year-old graphic designer, Ameen's work is delicate, feather-light and often done in pastel colors that depict surreal scenes. She's participated from a young age in international exhibits, including the 2012 White Wall exhibit in Beirut that brought together graffiti artists from around the world. Today, Tarek is considered Egypt's first serious street artist and an icon that young graffiti hopefuls look up to. She began sharing her bold street art on the walls of her native Alexandria at 18 years old, then gained international attention after the January 25 Revolution. Art Egypt, which has some 3,000 followers, boasts the largest database of young artists in Egypt (whether they work as painters, photographers, illustrators or with mixed media) and is run by a team of three artists and journalists.
