Zeina Hussein's acrylic Egyptian folklore art is a magnificent portrayal of the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. Her triptych masterpiece depicts Egyptian folklore in a fascinating way.

When it comes to sculptures, Heba El Gindi's pieces are thought-provoking art. The two figures sitting back to back suggest a sense of disconnection or conflict, while the third figure, who stands apart from them, creates a sense of ease. The sculpture invites the viewer to contemplate the complex dynamics at play among the figures.

This stunning bronze sculpture made by Eman Barakat is an example of contemporary art that explores the human form in an abstract way.

Applied Arts graduate, Merna Keroulos’ statue was among the many marvels. Her piece "Without Reins", depicts the bond between man and horse. The artist explains, "The idea behind this sculpture is that we live in an age where trust is vanishing. However, the bond between man and animal will always remain." She stripped the two figures of details because she wanted them to represent a unified body.

The exhibition also displayed an impressive collection of creative and intricate fabric pieces that showcased the beauty of yarn work and embroidery. One of the embroidery pieces by artist Sarah Tarek was particularly striking, as it depicts a unique look at the female uterus and embryonic development.

While yarnwork of artist Sabaah Naim is equally impressive, with its vibrant colors and dynamic textures. She's used a variety of yarns and fabrics to create stunning compositions that are full of depth.

The miniature art exhibition was a delightful experience that is highly recommended for anyone who appreciates the beauty of small-scale art. The exhibition will be displaying the miniatures from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily until June 20th.
