Menna Mohamed
Menna Mohamed is an Egyptian artist and visual designer, specialized in engraving and graphic printing, and she is interested in the relationship between space and impact within artistic composition. In her works, she explores the idea of balance between mass and silent spaces, and how emptiness can carry a feeling and meaning no less important than the visual element itself.
In her artistic experience, she relies on combining traditional printing techniques with contemporary visual methods, with a clear interest in Egyptian identity, everyday details, and popular symbols. After graduation, she participated in several government art exhibitions with works based on engraving and printing, and through her works she seeks to present a visual language that combines artistic sense and contemporary composition.
In addition to her artistic practice, she works in the digital field to help brands build their visual identity and create visual content that expresses them creatively and closely to people, with a focus on details, visual sensation, and the way the brand is presented in a distinctive and contemporary way
Artist Statement
I believe that art is not only what we see, but also what is deliberately left unfinished or silent. Therefore, I deal with “emptiness” as an essential element in my work, and not just empty space, because it gives the work space to breathe, contemplate, and reinterpret.
My study of engraving and graphic printing was influenced by the idea of “trace”, and how the absence of an element can sometimes be more present than its full presence. In my works, I explore the relationship between mass and space, between the apparent and the hidden, between explicit details and silent spaces that allow the viewer to participate emotionally and visually.
I blend traditional styles with contemporary techniques in design and printing, inspired by Egyptian culture, everyday details, and the visual symbols surrounding us. I always try to create a visual balance that makes the void part of the meaning itself, not just a background for the work.
I see that true art does not impose a single answer, but rather leaves an open space for reflection and personal experience, where the recipient becomes part of the composition and completion of the work
