Public art may not be that valuable to most people, but it is, at least for us artists. If you ask me, art is not about the money, it is more about delivering a message. Personally, I view art as a way to express myself, I try to channel my emotions to the art that I do. I am someone who focuses on paintings, though I may not be famous, but I do want to bring change to this world. I let the public see my art for free. Leave a Reply. |
Aiming to become a dynamic and permanent tool to create encounters and share knowledge and experiences, FRTR Platform organises lectures and Q&A discussions with prominent Egyptian artists, architects and consultants who engage with their experience to foster awareness on public space, public art and use of up-cycled materials.
