Hey guys.... been a long time since the last time I updated my Behance!
In July of this year I traveled from Egypt to Sweden for an invitation to join street art Osterlen. Osterlen includes many districts of South Sweden. Pretty nice nature, and lot of sun!
That was the sketch I submitted to the festival for the wall. I made it according to its proportion "5m*40*".
It felt challenging for me since I had only 6 days to finish it. But I really wanted to execute my sketch so I said "Heck, I'll do it!".
I faced the reality bites when I saw the wall with my naked eye o_o, it was in the field on a road between villages. The wall can be seen only from very far road (app. 200m). I was shocked because most of the details of my sketch won't be visible in that distance. Roaming in my stream of thoughts and lot of photoshoping. I came with an idea.....
I insisted to draw the same sketch, but only with different scales. I focused on the central figure, where the core of the piece was. I said to myself: Just go big!!!
and I did......
and I started getting smaller....
Ammar El Kabbani was my assistant during the project, currently she is studying in Osterlen art school, Simrishamn.
and voila!!!! Finished the wall in 5 days!
Street art Osterlen has won 2 prestigious cultural prizes in Sweden in October 29th at Kulturfest in Ystad theatre.
