Faried Omarah is a Egyptian architectural engineer, but first, more importantly, and most of all he is an artist. He is fascinated with ideas. How to deliver ideas in the simplest way possible to reach all kinds of minds. Once he hears or reads a new concept he immediately, involuntarily imagine how it could be simplified, purified, and delivered in an artistic form. he is inspired by almost everything. Usually, ideas hit him unannounced and in the strangest of all places and times. More often than not ideas come to him, not the other way around. Team Salaamy: You follow a dark theme in many of your artworks even though the messages you deliver are full of light, what’s the story behind this fusion of darkness and light? Faried Omarah: I do tend to follow a dark theme in my work, mainly for two reasons: the first is simple and that is because I find peace in simple and dark moods. The second is a sort of challenge I put up for myself to limit the effect and feeling of each artwork to the idea and concept, not the apparent look. .. Team Salaamy: You are a man of ideas, how do you manage your mind which is surrounded by so many ideas and concepts? Faried Omarah: I believe in transferable knowledge, that is certain things one might learn from one place and find a great chance for it to grow somewhere else. Add reading to that and one can come across many worlds with many ideas that inspire the mind. Team Salaamy : Freedom is a state of mind ,do you think anyone is free today? Faried Omarah: It’s an irony that all sorts of technologies of today that would have allowed for minds to free itself caused us to sink further away from freedom. Probably so few of us today are free-minded contrary to what we claim. This is where art comes in to try to free our minds. ..
