The influences that affected the artist intellectually and artistically
- The art of Farouk Wahba is like a great reportage about the human being, even when this does not appear in the picture himself. His works always reflect the human being of his time and his surroundings. His concern is to make the inner value of the human being visible, and in this he avoids empty, artificial forms and searches for What is deep and simple and makes it beautiful through artistic truth, and from here it has a more convincing and honest effect.
The works of the artist Farouk Wahba cannot be comprehended in passing. Rather, they force the viewer to contemplate. And herein lies their effectiveness.
- Farouk Wahba’s painting contains symbols that express the human being of this era in his dialogue with the various contradictions of aspects of life, and it is like a document that calls on the human being to emerge from the covers and restrictions that squeeze him.
