Contemporary graphic works are inspired by bird drawings in ancient Egyptian art

Birds are characterized by their aesthetics, such as the symmetry of proportions and grace in some of their species, and many birds also have bright and varied feather colors. For example, the peacock has wonderful colors and a dazzling tail.

Through this artistic experiment, the researcher will create a group of Printed works using acid engraving, employing some birds, namely the eagle, the Carnes, and the ibis, which are those birds that the ancient Egyptians sanctified as gods and the Egyptian artist dealt with them in his painted and sculpted murals.

The researcher seeks to present these birds in a variety of formulations, which have a historical dimension that reaches the roots of art since the pre-dynastic era, also because of the aesthetic characteristics and high formative values they carry.

The research derives its importance from the importance of the subject of the bird, with its aesthetics in general and its sanctity in particular in ancient Egyptian civilization, which makes it the focus of the researcher’s interest and a primary source of inspiration for producing graphic works that depend on the bird in terms of form in constructing the work, which contains aesthetics, and in terms of the subject based on the historical and heritage dimension, as the bird was sacred in ancient Egyptian civilization.
