Amgad Tohamy

Egyptian sculptor, born 1968, Cairo . Tohamy Graduated from the Faculty of Art Education, 1992, followed by granting a PHD in Sculpture, and he is currently a professor of Sculpture Art.

Tohamy participated in the art movement since his graduation by participating in few group (most recently “Contemporary Views” the annual group Exhibition of Al Masar Gallery, 2025 and 2026), and also Solo exhibitions, to continue his path in searching for a special and unique forms expressing his artistic vision.

His expression in Art focuses on Man’s dreams, ideas and existence, the struggle between reason and emotion, and also the wondering about what life means. He visions that the space surrounding the statue represents life and the proportions of the interaction of the statue’s mass with the surrounding space reflects a specific state of expression. The closed blocks isolated from the void direct the mass to negative expressions such as sadness and isolation, but when the mass interacts with the void, it expresses positive states such as happiness.

The Artist continues to look through his experiences and own expression for the visual and symbolic equivalent between realism, imaginary forms and abstraction, in practice to merge them into blocks characterized by simplification of the external form, which may contribute to conveying the expressive state in a deeper way, in contrast to the excessive details on the surface.

The Artist’s vision to the symbolism and form of the human body or parts of the body is to re-present it with special visual solutions that are contemporary and blending imagination and abstraction together.
