Moataz Nasr: a choral quest towards shared experiences and aspirations

Via multiple forms of artistic expression, including painting, sculpture, photography, video and drawing, Moataz Nasr addresses social, philosophical, historical, geographical and political issues. His realm of investigation emerges from his diverse roots that embrace the rest of the world. Firmly rooted in his birth place, but blending seamlessly with the broader contemporary society, the artist employs his geographical origins as a pretext to go beyond political and religious borders. He projects himself into a dialogue with different histories and cultures. His entire body of work expresses this desire to visualize collective dynamics, starting with a careful and sensitive documentation of personalities which are both individual and universal.
