.Artist statement:
Ahmed Abdel Fattah's artistic experience takes different dimensions of contemporary realism, whether in oil paintings or in digital media, such as virtual reality. He rejects classification into a specific artistic genre, connecting between the real, virtual, and harmony, elements that form his belief in the role of art towards the visual perception of the surrounding world, rather than being influenced by revolutions, trends, or positions to create abstract and spontaneous color rhythms within a realistic framework where the visual subject is the protagonist. He sees the artist, like the world, should contemplate the depths of things to understand and express them better.
Abdel Fattah relies on the psychology of visual things in his subjects, such as his repetitive portrayal of people and humans, nature and its relationship with the environment, people, and animals, along with any other stimuli around him. Through his work, he leaves a conceptual character for the viewer that drives us to think beyond the visual content of a unique work. He is a lover of experimentation, as each work he considers a different experiment where he presents a new visual concept that goes beyond the idea of the medium. He has experiences that included paintings related to cases of technology forms in art
