 
Personal and poignant, Egyptian artist Heba Hafez paints with unusual awareness and sincerity. Layers of thought are transformed into imagery rich with meaning as she responds to the world around her. These are daring artworks, orchestrated with an inventive visual language that develops each day in her mind. "Society is my muse and a close companion, whether we are at peace or at war with one another," she says. Correspondingly we find a variety of subjects, intricate patterns and symbols, alongside references to religion, history, and modern pop culture. Hafez pours her whole self into her work; each piece is so radically different it seems as if we get to know the artist all over again. Some works may approach pure abstraction while others display the work of an artist with an impeccable talent for rendering the human form in an expressive and soulful manner.
Hafez’s original motifs, surrealist landscapes, and figural deconstruction are conveyed in a way that celebrates life’s profound mysteries. Hafez lives and works in Cairo.
