Painted over two years, Mostafa Abdel Moity's untitled artwork is a vibrant exploration of creativity, existence and harmony, and is one of a number of similar experimental pieces by the artist, exhibited as a complete series in Egypt in 2007. Striving to analyse, order and balance links between human nature and artistic practice, Abdel Moity applies a mathematical and rational approach to what he phrases as "the mission of art, which we earnestly need to enable us to live". He uses intensely bright tones and bold, but careful, lines and shapes to create a range of forms in an altogether surrealist composition, evoking an infinite, boundless world beyond the artist's canvas.
