Artist of the Week

 Wafaa Mohamed Yehia

Wafaa Yehia is an Egyptian artist who was born in Alexandria 1998. I came across Wafaa's art when I went to the Arts-Mart event and I fell in love with her strong, diverse and vibrant paintings. She has the ability to attract anyone to her subjects and for some reason most of her work remind me of my childhood.

 Her paintings reflect the blend of colours and flavours of her city of birth and they make you fall in love with Alexandria all over again as you reminisce through them.

And they wait II

 What I really like about Wafaa is that she is not afraid to experiment with colours and different subjects such as urbanization, gender equality and social pressures on women in Egypt.
