{"product_id":"ahmed-selim-2","title":"Affection - Ahmed Selim","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis artwork, executed in oil on canvas and characterized by a warm expressive quality, depicts two people, a man and a woman, in a moment of closeness and affection, exchanging loving and intimate gazes. The woman gently leans her head toward the man, while he wraps his arm around her, expressing a sense of intimacy, warmth, and protection. The woman holds in her hands a bag or vessel in a warm orange tone, while the hands are carefully rendered to emphasize the warmth of the body language between the two figures.\u003cbr\u003eThe painting is dominated by warm yellow and golden ochre tones, which give the background and the woman’s clothing a sense of intimacy and warmth, with a beautiful contrast created by the green shirt and jacket worn by the man.\u003cbr\u003eThe painting is distinguished by its use of dark, defined lines outlining the facial features and clothing, as well as facial characteristics reminiscent of Ancient Egyptian art or Egyptian folk art, such as the wide eyes and expressive features. This is further enhanced by the pronounced texture of the brushstrokes across the canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAhmed Selim Professor and Head of the Painting Department, Faculty of Fine Arts, Minya University.\u003cbr\u003eMember of the Syndicate of Plastic Artists.\u003cbr\u003eMember of the Atelier Cairo Artists and Writers Group.\u003cbr\u003eNominated for a one-month participation in the Naples Biennale, Italy, in 1996.\u003cbr\u003eReceived an internal scholarship for his PhD studies from 2000 to 2005.\u003cbr\u003eReceived a two-year scholarship to collect scientific material in the field of mural painting for his PhD from the Faculty of Arts and Education, University of Siegen, Germany.\u003cbr\u003eReceived a two-year scholarship to study graphic arts at the studio of German artist Daniel Heiss, Professor at the Faculty of Arts and Education, University of Siegen, in 2002.\u003cbr\u003eReceived a scholarship for professorship studies in mural painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Murcia, Spain, in 2015.\u003cbr\u003eReceived numerous artistic grants from the General Organization of Cultural Palaces and the Cultural Development Fund.\u003cbr\u003eHe has authored numerous scientific and practical research papers and publications in the field of visual arts.\u003cbr\u003eHe supervises numerous academic research projects conducted by researchers.\u003cbr\u003eHe has been active in the Egyptian visual arts movement since 1991.\u003cbr\u003eHe has represented Egypt in numerous international exhibitions through the Exhibitions Sector of the Ministry of Culture.\u003cbr\u003eHe has participated in numerous group exhibitions and art workshops in Egypt and abroad.\u003cbr\u003eHe has held numerous solo exhibitions in Egypt and abroad.\u003cbr\u003eHe has designed and executed numerous mural artworks for various architectural establishments in Egypt and abroad.\u003cbr\u003eHis works are held in the collections of institutions, embassies, and private individuals in Egypt and abroad.\u003cbr\u003eAwarded the Silver Medal and Second Place at the 5th Exhibition of Innovations and Scientific Research, organized by the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, in 2018.\u003cbr\u003eHe has received numerous awards, medals, and shields at various art symposiums focusing on painting and mural art, presented by public and private institutions in Egypt and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLength: 45 cm · Width: 65 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odyssey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53435618918767,"sku":"GAPNOIAHSE00005","price":70000.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/9819\/2751\/files\/OdysseyGallery_146_1_639243229149502876.webp?v=1788715322","url":"https:\/\/www.odysseyatq.com\/products\/ahmed-selim-2","provider":"Odyssey ATQ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
