BIOGRAPHY:
Amal Akhnoukh is a mosaic artist of Egyptian origin. Growing up in an exotic, rich and colourful world surrounded by artisans of all kinds has helped shape her artistic language and influence her style of creation.
With her artistic passion and entrepreneurship spirit, Amal has recently launched a small business in Cairo creating and selling mosaic artworks of all sizes and functions. Her many years of experience in mosaic art as well as the extensive workshops and courses that she took in Canada and Italy, has given her an added value and competitive advantage when creating unique pieces of mosaic art.
Amal aspires to revive this rich and ancestral art through more creations, exhibitions, workshops and symposiums in Egypt and abroad and give it a place amongst the variety of contemporary artworks of today. Aiming to empower local artisans by providing them the opportunity to showcase their incredible talent, Amal aims to bring beauty, history, and a piece of Egyptian culture into people's homes and spaces.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
To many people today, mosaic art may sound so ancient and out of place amongst the fast pace of our daily life. However, it is specifically in this slow and time-consuming artisanal process that I find my passion and satisfy my deep desire to create. Growing up in Egypt within an exotic, rich and colourful world surrounded by artisans of all kinds, has helped shape my artistic language and influence my style of creation.
My love for Egypt’s rich history has strongly influenced my style and given my art the character that it has today. Interpreting ancient artworks into its contemporary context is my way of documenting such work so as to give it a sense of permanence in our lives. The more I explore my country’s rich history filled with myths and symbols, the more it influences my art and inspires me to search for more information and deepen my knowledge.
