One day, direct your march towards Upper Egypt, then approach its features, carefully examine the details that you see there..Let your breath wander around all corners. Take a tour with your eyes that you will be amazed at the nobility, durability and beauty, not because Upper Egypt is part of Egypt, but because there are artists who alone can change With their fingertips a world map, like the talented Justin Wagih Paul, 29 years old, born in Assiut Governorate.
His love for drawing began seven years ago, his father noticed his talent, and he inherited this talent from him because he was a natural painter and had an artistic sense, as he always drew "quick sketches".
Justin took, imitated and reproduced these drawings, and he encouraged him a lot and made sure to bring the drawing tools, even though that was not the dominant thought of the village people.
His love for drawing continued until the beginning of his high school studies and he wanted to enroll in the Faculty of Fine Arts, but he did not accept the arts abilities exam for a reason that he did not know until now, but he continued his way to practice drawing and worked for a while in a private painting studio with professional illustrators.
Justin learned in a practical way and was able to develop his level and experience in the field of drawing, until he graduated from the Faculty of Science and learned in the field of medical analysis, but his love of drawing kept pushing him to work with the talent that God placed within him.
Justin continued, practicing art nearby to his work, specializing in painting paintings and church murals, as well as portraits and tablecloths, and most recently he managed to fulfill part of his dream and joined the free department of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Zamalek.
It is a 3-month training program that helps those who did not have the opportunity to enroll in the college, and there he learned a lot academically and got acquainted with artists and professors at a high artistic level, and came one step closer to the middle he dreamed of.
Justin participated in 3 group exhibitions at the College of Fine Arts and Al-Ahram Hall of Arts, and most of his contributions achieved advanced positions in the exhibitions in which he participated.
Justin loves exploration in painting and art, as he learns music on his own and believes that the arts are inseparable. It is possible that the painter becomes a musician, writer, or director, like the artists of the Renaissance, they were artists in many fields along with being scholars in many sciences as well.
He also loves experimenting with various materials in drawing, but the one he loves most is oil colors because it is a very rich and flexible material and its results are luxurious compared to any other material.
He has always been impressed by the artists' drawings of Bible subjects and stories, which are very inspiring stories and themes of the Bible and one day he wishes to present a different vision of the Bible topics in his own exhibition.
