Mostafa Rabie

The basic motif behind Mostafa Rabie's creations so far has been a raw sense of optimism and fresh charm. His style treads a thin line between instinctual and naïve art, a space where child-like lines and compositions exist but with the intention of a skilled artist. His subject matter is deeply rooted in Egyptian folklore, yet it's almost a wonderland version of our culture. All his figures are playful and light-weight, as though they are dolls or marionettes in a children's theatre, but depicted with the skill of a mature artist.
