Sandstorm is an ode to the timeless treasures of Ancient Egypt
History Channel
The inspiration for this artwork lies in my interest in Egypt.
Since primary school, I have been impressed by pharaohs and life back then, and while watching an episode on History Channel this idea came to life.

A golden dessert
Close your eyes…..and start dreaming about walking in the Egyptian desert. The sun is burning on your skin but you are close to an oasis. And then there’s that light breeze, which grows stronger and stronger until it becomes a real storm. A sandstorm…..
