Through Time ” expresses his journey with creativity…which spans more than 40 years since his graduation from Fine Arts in Alexandria until the most recent touch in his pictorial space…a journey full of transformations that varied in form and expression…during which he moves us from one dramatic state to another…reflecting the spirit of the Egyptian personality and its hustle and bustle. Popular life… and with its early beginnings it reached this dialogue with the Egyptian heritage… which confirms the identity of contemporary art… and the meaning of drawing inspiration from heritage in the world of modernity..
Guirguis Lotfy produces stunning depictions of contemporary Egyptian life using long-forgotten elaborate and rich painting techniques.
He resuscitates ancient painting techniques used from the first to the fourth century, such as egg tempera, and ensures the transmission of this unique art to future generations
The authenticity found in his revived technique and contemporary
subject matters is a testament to his passion and pride about his
country’s past and present. The apparent naivety of his art reflects
sincerity, insight, and a deep reverence for the diversity
of the Egyptian culture.
Lotfy truly brings the past into today to provide answers for tomorrow
