Essays
- Unless being ceramist he never neglected the distinguished color characteristic of ceramic, that occurs inside firing ovens with expert mixed media until the harmony between forms and colors come to the surface. - Eventually, I think that the ceramist artist had got great steps in opening the secrets clues of this art. - By Prof. Dr. Abdel-Ghany Al-Nabawy Al- Shall, former Dean and emeritus professor, Faculty of Art Education, Helwan University. - Inspiring with nature, ceramist Mohammed el-Sayed asserts the biological relations between clay and ceramist, form and nature, so he takes stone roughness – in structure- as source for ceramic formations. Thence, he produced ceramic pieces varied in complexion, structure, and surface motion line. As he depended on that complexion in defining the external lines of ceramic form, that changed into integral structure reached the natural sense of real stone by artist’s hands and emotions. By Prof. Dr. Mohammed Taha Hussein.
