When the satirical drawing artist Samir Abdel Ghani tells you: “Caricature is an art that is more than 4,000 years old in a state of continuous resistance, and it is an art that was created to live,” know that he is educated and a follower, and when he confesses to you that everything was leading him to caricature: from his tall father, and his short mother. And also his poor environment... “whose characters he likened to characters from Naguib Mahfouz’s neighborhoods.” Know that success will be his ally. When he declares that caricature was his weapon to fight the injustice that surrounded him, know that he is a fighter by nature and knows how to choose the weapon he is best at, which is sarcastic criticism.

His daily paintings are delightful
Artist Samir Abdel-Ghani believes that the creator of daily events caricatures must be “smart, educated, connected to people’s pain, have a sense of humor, and follow all of his generation and the generation that preceded him so as not to repeat himself...” Anyone who follows his daily creations will discover that they are, and that is why his cheerful and funny paintings deal with people's daily problems. He always stresses: “The art of caricature may become ill due to the general local, regional or international climate, but it never dies.”

Drawing without words
He appreciates the feelings of both artists: (Hakim) and (Hegazy), who he found before him when he came to Cairo from Alexandria, and they did not stingy with advice and guidance. He confirmed that he took Hijazi’s advice, which says: “When you draw without talking, you live longer.”

Fruit Press Caricature
He said in one of his press interviews: “Caricatures are the fruit of journalism and a weapon of peaceful resistance...” In my estimation, it is a very effective weapon, and not a negative one at all. She reached the limit of creativity when her interviewer in Al-Dustour newspaper, Professor Bushra Abdel Moumen, wrote: “To generate a smile from the womb of pain, and to draw joy with the ink of a tear is a difficult equation that only the brush of caricature artists can translate.” One cartoon panel may be enough to condense hundreds of words and dozens of pages in expressing the idea and defending the cause...”
