ARTIST / Saglan
Saglan

I am an Egyptian artist currently residing in England. I graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in 1998 with a degree in Painting, achieving a "Very Good" overall grade and "Excellent" for my graduation project. I pursued free studies in Graphic Design to enhance my career opportunities and financial prospects. Additionally, I engaged in free studies in Acting and Physical Expression.

Since 2002, I have been working as the Head of the Video and Photography Unit at the Center for Documentation of Cultural and Natural Heritage at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. I have also acted in several plays produced by independent theatre groups.

In 2011, I got married and had my first child during the first year of marriage. Despite the increasing responsibilities of motherhood, which intensified with the birth of my second child in 2014, and my full engagement in their upbringing, I cannot deny that motherhood has been a significant source of inspiration for my ideas. Although my creative output has decreased, the maturity and clarity of my thoughts have grown, with motherhood being one of the primary sources of this development.
