About the work

A vivid close-up portrait of a woman rendered in swirling oranges, pinks, and reds, her curling hair adorned with spiral forms and animated black line-work. The face gazes directly outward with quiet intensity, set against a cool grey-blue background that amplifies the warmth of the figure.

About the artist

Mohammed Sabry Bastawi — Acrylic On Canvas, 260 × 200 cm (representative image)
Mohammed Sabry Bastawi

Egypt, b. 1983

Mohamed Sabry Bastawy, born on August 15, 1983, is an Egyptian artist specializing in sculpture and ceramics. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Alexandria University and pursued postgraduate studies in field sculpture. Bastawy's work is deeply influenced by ancient Egyptian art, often reflecting themes from his upbringing in the Nile Valley, with familial ties to Luxor and Rosetta.

Throughout his career, Bastawy has participated in numerous exhibitions. Notably, his painting "The Village" was featured on the front page of The Times in May 2022, coinciding with its inclusion in a Bonhams auction. This recognition highlighted his contribution to contemporary Egyptian art. His works have been showcased in various venues, including the Zamalek Art Gallery in Cairo, where he held solo exhibitions such as "Conquest of Heaven" in November 2023 and "MPXXIII" in July 2024.

In the art market, Bastawy's pieces have achieved significant milestones. His artwork "Tree of Love" sold for $15,936 at Bonhams New Bond Street in 2021, marking his highest auction record to date. This sale underscores the growing appreciation and demand for his work among collectors and art enthusiasts.
