ferent sizes that are added to his general
Etching , Relif , 14.5 × 23.5 cm, 1986 . experience that ensured him an Arab and
international artistic presence through
the international shows, workshops, and
symposia, during which he built a con-
siderable and diverse career, taking part
in the graphic arts, painting, installation,
drawing, and video arts, in addition to his
prominent efforts in book arts.

Sakr belongs to that experimenting group
of artists who are passionate about dis-
covering their creative selves through
frantic engagement in experience and
experimentation. Those artists are thirst
for unveiling techniques and styles, and
are always attracted to explore the mys-
terious, remote and untapped areas and
disciplines, throwing aside the constraints
of (specialization), and distancing them-
selves from stereotyping, restriction and
illusion of classification.
