| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
"In few years Mahmoud Menaysy was able to unleash his deep powerful art character submitting it to experience the Modern Art. In the last years, this young talented artist introduced important answers to art perplexes. For instance how to tackle the contradiction thesis and the importance of shock and contrast.
If he tackles womans body, he will incarnate the ethereal treasure that carry the space to express the entire existence of universe, thus it would be the cold deaf material that explodes to protest against all solid, cold, soft, thick, soulless, and mindless.
Even though, Menaysy still faithful to the system and method, even his keen on the systematic aestheticism margined his original theory of omission and protest, settle it among shock and contrast factors to unveil the artificial consumed stereotyped".
