About The Artwork

"Where Do the Children Play?" (1.2 m by 50 cm, acrylic on canvas). Thinking of all the children living through war. Today i received a gift from my nieces, drawings and writings they'd done for me... so this painting is a collaboration with them. I decided to mimic these as best as I could for the child-like motifs in the painting, as I wanted to give a sense of how a child paints with freedom, and how innocence is being lost. My niece's drawing seems to resemble a rocket like shape, and her coloured lines too. Every child should be free to imagine and to learn, not imagining a life without fear. The title and some of the thoughts that led to this painting were triggered by these song lyrics... "Will you make us laugh? Will you make us cry? Will you tell us when to live? Will you tell us when to die? I know we've come a long way, We're changing day to day, But tell me, where do the children play?" Yusuf / Cat Stevens Let the children play.

My art is inspired by identity, socio-political events, and engaging with new experiences. As a young artist of Arab heritage, many natural inspirations add to the western influence I can draw on, through my lens as a British Egyptian. I find expression through my background, as an Egyptian, which offers many experiences to inform my art, and to encounter and challenge my identity through contemplation of issues. I enjoy the element of discovery when painting, experimenting with techniques, and sometimes giving the paint freedom to choose its own paths. In recent years, I have felt impassioned throughout the seismic changes in Egypt and the Middle East, and my art has served to document my feelings, painting many pictures drawn from my emotive response. BBC World News requested to interview me about my Egypt inspired paintings (with a montage as the studio background); to attempt to represent the feelings of British Egyptians, was a humbling experience. Saatchi Gallery Online twice selected a painting of mine, inspired by Egypt, “Albena 3ala Masr” (“Our Heart is with Egypt”) and “Korsi – Chair, after Van Gogh 1888”, for online collections, chosen by their Head Curator and Gallery Director. الاسم :محمد نجم (مو ستار ارت) ان الفن مستوحي من هويتي والتعامل مع خبرات جديدة مستوحاة من الطبيعة إضافة الي الخبرة الغربية . وحيث أنني شاب بريطاني المنشأ من اصول عربيةفاني من خلال خلفيتي الشرق أوسطية اجد التعبير والتفكير والاستمتاع بعنصر الاكتشاف خلال لوحاتي وتجربة التقنيات وإعطاء الطلاء حرية لاختيارات مساراتي الخاصة.ولقد أجريت لي قناة بي بي سي لأخبار العالم مقابلة خاصة حول الإلهام والوحي المصري في لوحاتي .ومن المهم هو استحضار الشعور بالأحداث والمواضيع القريبة الي قلبي في لوحاتي واني اعرض لوحاتي الفنية في العديد من المعارض في لندن وجميع أنحاء المملكة المتحدة وكذلك في مصر.
