Damascus – Arabs Today
Syrian artist Sakina Agie said in an interview with Arabs Today that she was inspired by her love to nature to create beautiful artistic works. She added that she started her career by studying arts in the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus, supported by her family especially her parents.
Agie said that her experience in sculpture was sometimes random, and other times was academic, pointing out that she was influenced by the classic artistic school created by French artist Rowdan, adding that she focused in her works on the human body because humans were created in a perfect shape and she feels that she has to exert more efforts to create such beautiful works.
Agie said that she faces many challenges due to the ongoing war in Syria which resulted to prices hikes of raw materials, noting that the sculpture is a humanitarian art that addresses human minds and feelings. She added that her works reflect aspects of daily life.
Agie was graduated from the sculpture department in Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus, and she is a member of Fine Artists Union, and participated in many exhibitions, especially the Women and Spring exhibitions in Lebanon.
