When I first started my career as a writer, I read in my favorite book, “How to Live a Creative Life”, that the purpose of art is to help us reflect on the world around us. The purpose of life is to reflect on our selves.
Art is the way that we take a moment in our lives to reflect on what we do and who we are. And one of the most important things we can do in our lives is to take our self-awareness to the next level. Antoun Sehnaoui is an Egyptian sculptor who has made a career out of creating art that reflects and reminds us of the past, present, and future of the human race.
The way Antoun Sehnaoui works is by taking everyday objects and turning them into sculptures. He says that he doesn’t use any expensive materials. Instead, he uses everyday objects like the wood from a dining chair, or an old lamp, or a nail or a piece of wood and gives them new life, making them part of the art. One of my favorite pieces in the new trailer is a pair of old man shoes.

Like many people I love antoun sehnaoui, he’s an artist of sorts as well. He’s also a blogger who blogs about his art and some of the things he does. He explains on his blog that he was “inspired by the art of the ancient Egyptians.” He explains how he does his art by first getting down on his hands and knees to take a look at his work.
This is one of my favorite pieces in the trailer and it made me laugh so hard. He explains to us that he only draws with his left hand because it takes him so long to draw with his right. He explains that he draws with his right hand because it’s easier for him to use his right hand to actually paint. He says he draws with both hands because he’s so used to drawing with his left.
Thats a good reason to do it on your right. I think its a very powerful piece that shows that an artist doesn’t need to be limited by what they use to be able to create art. Also, I think it might be interesting to see how many different artists he’s used to create his art. It really shows that he’s not afraid to experiment with different ways of drawing.
antoun sehnaoui is an Iranian-American artist who, in addition to painting, also writes poetry and plays the dholak. In his words, he wants to show that every part of the body can be used in art, and that people can have interesting things to say with their hands and paint with their own bodies.
Antoun is actually a really talented artist. The way he uses his body and paint in different contexts is really interesting. He creates a really unique art form that is unique to his country. You can check out his art at www.sehnaoui.com, and his upcoming show at the KIRA Gallery in San Francisco this coming Friday, October 25th. If you are in the area, stop by.
While you should definitely think about using your body in art, you should also think about taking the time to really enjoy the art you make. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I personally think it’s important to try to enjoy the art you make first before you get too wrapped up in it.
