He was one of the first students to decide to study fine arts, and he left for Egypt, the artistic capital of the Arab World…Twenty-Two year old Mohammed Yousuf was torn between studies in Cairo and the events taking place in his motherland.

It was a state of one in love with his country and capable of handling the massive transformation taking place in a land that had remained unchanged for so long.
