Characterized by a strong combination of impressionism and nativism with distinct Egyptian motifs, Gameel Shafik’s romantic and poetic work focuses on a central form with few surrounding details. His pictures often reveal reoccurring themes: the struggle between good and evil, animals as symbols of fertility; as well as relationships and the external forces that effect them. In “Untitled” the solid form of the woman holds a fish, a symbol which represents the good forces in the world.
