Бюро Культуры посольства Арабской республики Египет в Москве с гордостью представляет работы египетского художника, доктора Искусств Мохамеда Закарии Солтан.

События последнего времени, коснувшиеся весь мир, стали очередным подтверждением важности культуры в жизни общества, её структурообразующей функции.  В отсутствие возможности вести привычный образ жизни мы остро ощутили значимость культурных событий в нашей повседневности. Музеи, театры, галереи, концерты казались постоянно сопровождающей нас константой. Сейчас, адаптируясь к новой реальности, культура перешла на виртуальную платформу, но тем ценнее стало каждое событие.

Мохамед Закария Солтан – исключительный представитель современного египетского искусства. Гармонично сочетая в себе наследие прошлого и современные формы, его работы отличаются эклектичностью и глубоким философским смыслом. Художник буквально вплетает древние образы и символы в ткань нового времени. Его полотна полны красок и cвета. Яркие, насыщенные, пульсирующие цвета сбалансированы геометрической строгостью линий. Круг, как символ солнца, и пирамида, олицетворяющая вечность. Силуэты богов и священные иероглифы. Эти мотивы пронизывают его картины, собирая их в единое целое.

Бюро культуры посольства АРЕ благодарит МОА Союз Дизайнеров за сотрудничество и возможность представить работы Мохамеда Закарии Солтан широкой публике. Надеемся, что скоро мы все снова сможем войти в открытые двери наших любимых музеев и галерей. А сейчас желаем вам приятного просмотра и здоровья.
