Essays
- Spanish critic Ra`oul Shakary Fery sees that Al Washahy`s works with its masses of edifices constitute organic architectural and universal eloquence just like sculpture in ancient Egypt. - Some other times his works are characterized with being circular in the same harmony and luxury of Greek Sculpture. - We can also say that expressive arts of an old civilization of a certain country can be expressed by the modern works of Al Washahy which confirms its universality. Spanish critic Ra`oul Shakary Fery
