Art, talent, and heritage nourish life and enrich the work of art, taking it to another dimension.

Young artist Nancy Sameer had achieved this difficult equation by presenting her beautiful drawings on T-shirts, bags, jackets, and shoes as well as home accessories such as trays, mugs, Turkish coffee maker tabletop alcohol burners, flasks, and teapots.

She added flavor to the traditional wooden chair found in cafes by adding colors with her paintbrush and putting elegance and art to it.

*Renew Your Old Clothes

The young artist started by painting a picture that she liked on a T-shirt. She did not study painting crafts only followed her artistic sense and talent.

Sameer began to paint on her old clothes, and her mother and sister T-shirts and trousers to renew them after her designs were met with the admiration of those that surrounded her.

She practiced painting as a hobby for almost a year and then decided to turn it into a career.

* Turned into a profession

The young artist took drawing courses and then enrolled at the Faculty of Fine Arts graphic department and completed photography courses with Professor of Fine Arts, Dr. Murad Darwish.

* Fear of failure

“I always desired to enroll into fine arts faculty, but I was afraid to fail in the aptitude test and of course I thought that I would fail because I was young and for me, failure was not an option, so I did not enroll and entered Faculty of Commerce,” she said.

She continued: “I believed that my drawings were bad and it was a talent that I lacked and could not develop, despite loving coloring and spending my whole life drawing on books while studying, which of course is a wrong idea that lots of people believe.”

Sameer advise amateurs that so long as they love something, then they need to try and learn it until they can make it.

“I did not just stick to drawing on clothes and fabrics, I started to paint on mugs, teacups, copper teapots, Turkish coffee maker tabletop alcohol burner and all the old things Egyptian have been using for a long time, and renewed it and shape it with crazy fashion brand style,”

*Drawing on wood

The young artist loves painting on wood too, so, she painted on wood coffee chairs and turned them into colorful chairs, which can be used in balconies or in villas.

It is a popular demand by many that visit bazaar seeking her work or by those who visit her social media page, where she sells her products.
