SAM SHENDI


I think my art started from when I was very young. I grew up in a small town in northern Egypt, and I always had the desire to do things. My formal art education began in Art at the University of Cairo, where he majored in sculpture from 1992-1997. During this time he worked as a fashion designer, interior designer and designer cartoons in 3D. After leaving university, I created my own interior design company in Hurgarda, the Red Sea until they decided to move to the United Kingdom to explore the possibilities of being known as a professional artist.

Upon arrival, North Yorkshire, in 2000, discovered the possibilities of selling paintings and sculptures is much easier than in Egypt. Small galleries took my job and I managed to get some work of the commission of the local population.

In 2003, got a job as a freelance designer kitchen and bathroom, which has enabled me to earn some money, along with the development of my work and sculptures. Finally, in 2006 Washington Green decided to launch some of my work to show people the hope of the scale for my art.

I remember once my teacher told me that once I left college I would like to go into the larger University of Arts. I did not understand what she meant at first until they made me leave the long and understand that 'Art' is among us, it's life, and we share the excitement.

As a sculptor and attempt to capture a single moment in time, that many people do not stop and appreciate. My tools are my hands with them and I like creating movement and the shape of forms and shadows. The areas around and inside my sculptures act as my pen.
