I'm studied in Faculty of Fine Arts, Minia University in Egypt, from 1998 until I graduated in May 2003, five years studying art

My graduation project has included twenty-five printed artworks from plate of zinc (size 90 × 50 centimeter) carried out in different ways in engraving, I used Aquatint method to imitate the effect of painting knife.

The project also included five pencil drawings (size 270 × 120 centimeter). All the artwork made in an emotional manner the idea depend on the conflict between stillness and movement, with the use of degrees of shadow and light style theme to give the painting a sense of sorrow ,so i was granted very good for the five years of my study and excellent for my graduation project that became the first in order of my faculty section .

I participated in the Youth Salon, and the National Gallery Art at the Egyptian Opera House.
