-Since the beginning of his creativity in the field of sculpture, the works of artist Prof./ Farouk Ibrahim shows his deep love toward the pink pieces of pottery which symbolically affirm the genuine creative vision of man in his formation and movements.
-This artist has accomplished a number of mural sculpture works of large sizes in public places; these works with its realistic simplified contents helped educating people passing by or present in these places, as they can be easily read and recognized.
-Simplified reality of artist Farouk Ibrahim is considered a creative model in mural sculpture, and affirms his fine superiority as one of Modern Egyptian Movement pillars in sculpture.
