Sam Barakat

 

Sam Barakat is a gifted Egyptian artist who brings us versatile and profoundly insightful offerings, welling forth from a passionate soul.  Sam's painting involves envisioning, experiencing, and imagining rather than presenting a pictorial representation of any specific object. “The focus of my work is on the qualities of color, line and texture, which will engage the inner spirit and emotions of the viewer, the illusions of movement and depth between the figures.” 

“When I am working I lose all perception of time and place.  I experience a state of consciousness quite common, but nonetheless magical.  It is being in the flow, engaged in a task that occupies me fully, while freeing me to channel the creative gift.  In this state of grace the painting begins to take shape, seemingly of its own accord—and the most exotic experience is the satisfaction of doing artwork which is appreciated by others.”
