This project involved the custom design and fabrication of exquisite large-scale wall installations for the City of Arts and Culture in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital. The work focused on celebrating foundational Egyptian artistic heritage through unique, traditional-style decorative wall features.
The core of the project was the creation of prominent wall features celebrating iconic Egyptian artists, executed in a specific decorative style. Custom-designed tableaus were created to honor the Egyptian musical icons such asl Um Kalthum and Abdel Halim Hafez, acting as central artistic statements within the public areas.
The tableaus utilize a highly stylized, patterned decorative medium, in a blue and white motif that is traditionally associated with historical decorative arts, creating a striking, rich visual texture surrounding the central figurative portraits. The overall design is a deliberate effort to integrate and highlight the artistic and cultural legacy of these iconic figures within the new cultural hub.
