Yasmine El Hazek (b. 1989), an Egyptian artist, earned her masters in visual arts in Florence, Italy, and embarked on an artistic journey reflecting Egypt's cultural and historical pulse. Her canvas, a vibrant tapestry of humanity, mirrors Cairo's streets with bold characters and a vivid palette, narrating tales of society infused with humor, satire, and empathy. Capturing the overlooked beauty of Cairo's streets through keen observations, Yasmine's art pulsates with the energy of Egypt—its people, animals, and hidden fantasies. Represented by Zamalek Art Gallery, her exhibits span Cairo, Italy, Spain, Kuwait, and Mykonos. The latest, 'Sacred part 1 and 11 (dated 2023),' showcases a captivating fusion of installation art and painted sculptures—a testament to two years of creativity spanning Kuwait and Cairo. Yasmine El Hazek has not just crafted art; she has birthed her own world and its people.
