When three talented artists combine their unique individual styles under one roof, it is worth paying a visit. Currently, works by Al-Assmaa Taki Deen, Laila El Sadda and Mariam Mahdy can be viewed at Nokoush Gallery in Maadi, but plans for a full-fledged exhibition are under way. Cairo West Magazine chatted with Laila El Sadda to learn more about Art Trio.
CWM: How did the three of you meet and discover your shared passion for painting?
LS: I have known Mariam since a very young age, when we started attending painting courses together. Later on, we met Assmaa in a group exhibition, that’s when we realized we had a lot in common. The three of us had similar interests and felt inspired by each other’s work.

How do you see Egypt’s art scene at present?
Egypt’s art scene has developed within the last couple of years. There are many art movements and more artists expressing themselves. Egyptians now appreciate art, visit exhibitions and collect art more than ever. There is more awareness.
What do you have in the pipeline?
We are preparing for an upcoming exhibition featuring a new theme, most probably related to women.
What is the best way for emerging artists to bring their work to the public eye?
Social media has a huge role in connecting people. It’s not enough to have talent and produce work. It needs to be seen, either through exhibitions or social media platforms, to communicate the message intended.
