I — Origins
The Seeds of a Dialogue with Egypt
For more than twenty-five years, I have been studying and researching the civilization of Ancient Egypt—attending conferences, visiting museums in the United States and Europe, and building bridges with renowned Egyptologists whose wisdom and generosity have expanded my vision and refined my aesthetic and spiritual criteria. What began as an artist’s fascination evolved into a lifelong dialogue with that culture’s geometry of meaning, its reverence for the cosmos, and its profound understanding of harmony and proportion.
Furthermore, my connection with Egypt began not as a tourist’s curiosity, but as a quiet certainty that the symbols, rhythms, and silences of that land were already living inside my artworks.
II — Resonance
Cosmic Expressionism and the Egyptian Soul
In 2009, the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Montevideo opened its doors to my paintings, thanks to the generosity and cultural vision of H.E. Ambassador Mohamed Amin Taha Abou El-Dahab, with the support of Consul Hadad El-Goddary. That first exhibition did not merely present canvases; it invited a dialogue between my expressionist language and the deep memory of a civilization that carved time into stone, light into geometry, and the cosmos into a grammar of eternity.
In 2013, H.E. Ambassador Sami Mahmoud Ali Salem welcomed a second exhibition in the same Embassy. There, in the company of artists and friends, the conversation matured. My brushstrokes—steeped in astronomic metaphors and the chiaroscuro of inner landscapes—found new resonances in the myths of Isis and Osiris, the sacred architecture of balance, and the mathematical patience of stars that breathe across millennia.
What I call Cosmic Expressionism drew closer to the Nile’s patient current: a movement at once earthly and celestial, near and immeasurable. The journey was finally crystallized in 2019, during my first visit to Egypt. Walking through Luxor’s nocturnal stone forest, contemplating the luminous silence of Giza, and feeling how present-day Egypt carries—proudly and tenderly—the inheritance of its ancestors, I understood that my work did not seek to imitate forms, but to listen to an ethical and spiritual vibration: the dignity of craft, the clarity of purpose, and the responsibility of beauty.
III — Horizon
Toward the AMA Egypt Expedition 2027
From that encounter emerged new artworks and a renewed conviction—that art can still be a bridge where science, myth, and human affection meet. This page gathers those moments—diplomatic echoes and personal revelations—so that collectors, curators, and friends may follow the thread that connects my studio with the Egyptian soul.
It is an homage to the ambassadors and cultural teams who believed in dialogue; to the audiences who lent their gaze; and to Egypt itself—a country that teaches us, every day, that light is a discipline, that mystery is a method, and that the path to the stars often begins by honoring the ground beneath our feet.
Looking ahead, I hope to seal this chapter with a golden clasp during the next great milestone: the total solar eclipse of August 2, 2027, in Luxor. For that purpose I am organizing the AMA (Astronomy + Mythology + Art) Egypt Expedition 2027—a masterful union of my lifelong passions: Astronomy (a total eclipse of the Sun!), the Civilization and Culture of Ancient Egypt (in Luxor, no less!), and Art. It will be the opportunity to present to the world my 42 artworks of the first series Dream of a Night in Giza—created between 2002 and 2019—as this series approaches its 25th anniversary (in 2027), together with my eBook and hardcover book The Legacy of Neferu (already available on Amazon Kindle).
May this convergence of science, heritage, and painting illuminate the path forward and honor the bond I hold with Egypt and its people today...."
