About the artist

Mai Abdallah — Sculpture, 42 × 36 cm (representative image)
Mai Abdallah

Egypt

Mai Abdallah is an Egyptian sculptor renowned for her evocative representations of cultural icons. A graduate of Minia University's Faculty of Fine Arts in 2017, she earned the moniker "Minya's Sculptor" following the acclaim of her graduation project, which featured sculptures of legendary Egyptian actors such as Abdel Fattah al-Kasry and Mary Monib. 

In 2018, Abdallah unveiled her "Teatro" exhibition at the Egyptian Gallery in Zamalek, showcasing over 22 sculptures that paid homage to luminaries like Naguib al-Rihani, Abdel Halim Hafez, and Umm Kulthum. The exhibition was inaugurated by Minister of Social Solidarity Ghada Wali and attracted significant attention from art enthusiasts and critics alike. 

Abdallah's work has also been featured at the World Youth Forum in Sharm El-Sheikh in both 2017 and 2018. Notably, her 2018 statue of footballer Mohamed Salah garnered widespread discussion, leading to a personal phone call from Salah himself, who expressed admiration for her artistry and encouraged her to continue her work.
