Born in Alexandria in 1943, Abdelsalam Eid completed his undergraduate studies, in 1969, and then his Master’s degree in 1974 at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Alexandria. In 1979, Eid obtained a Ph.D. from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino, Italy, in the painting department. He taught photography and painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Alexandria, and was also appointed head of its Painting Department. Using various media like rope, plaits, or resins, and more, the artist explores all types of creation: painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture in an uninterrupted attempt to find unity between those art practices. An experimental artist at heart, Eid’s manipulates the mediums to convey continuity and absence of boundaries between the types of art. He distinguishes himself with the executions of mural works made of ceramic mastering structural and geometrical laws. Thus, Eid celebrates both the rich Islamic artistic culture and Egyptian civilization.
