Sahar Dourgham is an artist, researcher ,educator..Born at Mahala then moved to Alexandria to study Art at the faculty of Fine Arts where she received a PHD in the philosophy of Art where her Arts based research focuses on understanding and analyzing places and cities not committed to a specific medium as for her the idea is what creates its own medium .Travelling is one of her passions, as visiting places from her point of view represents the gate to self discovery as well as discovering the other through which she emphasizes on her identity and the greatness of Egyptian culture.Color is the most expressive medium according to her as it represents the artists most mysterious unexplained moods and feelings or maybe it’s the subconscious interpreter.

The power of color presence in a stroke or in space is rather thought provoking.
