Nevine Hamza (b. Cairo, 1977) is a visual artist whose art is profoundly influenced by her architectural background. Spanning photography, digital art, collage, and painting, her work delves into metaphysical concepts and features geometric aesthetics that blur the boundaries between earth and sky. Often focusing on the sky, her pieces evoke a sense of silence and perspective, reflecting her ideas on parallel worlds, hidden emotions, and inner realms beyond everyday experience.
Nevine approaches her subjects through an architectural lens, translating intangible concepts into lines, perspectives, and spatial compositions. Her work emphasizes space, frequently opening into expansive skies and landscapes that imbue a profound stillness, inviting contemplation. With meticulous attention to detail and a masterful command of line and composition, Hamza transforms abstract concepts into visually compelling works, encouraging viewers to engage in a deeper, more contemplative experience of the world.
Her work has been selected for prestigious events like the ‘Exclusive Art Collection in collaboration with the French Institute’, Soma Art Gallery, Cairo, Egypt (2019), as well as the ‘Egypt International Art Fair’, Azad Art Gallery, Cairo, Egypt (2020-2021). In 2019, she held her first solo show, ‘Roaming Echoes’, at Soma Art Gallery.
She participated in several group exhibitions, including ‘Mu'anath', Art d'Egypte as part of Cairo Photo Week in collaboration with UN Women, Downtown, Cairo, Egypt (2021); 'Sedimentary', Soma Art Gallery, Cairo, Egypt (2021); ‘The Blue Hippo Project’, Cairo International Art District, Downtown Cairo, Egypt (2021); 'Dots', Art d'Egypte, Downtown, Cairo, Egypt (2020); 'Almaza Art Symposium' Art d'Egypte, North Coast, Egypt (2020); 'Sameness' organized by Adsum Art, TU Berlin Campus, Gouna, Egypt (2018).
Nevine’s work has been acquired by prestigious art collections, including the international MIA Art Collection, and has been published in 'Hola' Magazine. Her art has also been featured in auctions organized by Adsum Art Egypt, Precision Auction House London, and on Artsy with Art d'Egypte as part of virtual exhibitions such as 'Middle Eastern Galleries Now,' 'Ma3radha,' and 'Mu'anath'.
