We had the good fortune of connecting with Honda Shahin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Honda, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Starting Shahin Studios was a natural progression for me as an artist and printmaker. Collaborating closely with my brother Marwan Shahin throughout our careers, including significant projects like the 2Vth Mural during the Egyptian Revolution in Alexandria, Egypt, and The infamous Smoking Kills installation, not to mention producing countless prints of his art laid a solid foundation for our artistic pursuits.

The decision to establish Shahin Studios stemmed from a deep passion for art, craftsmanship, and preserving traditional techniques. It was an opportunity to create a dedicated space for printmaking, focusing on our expertise in silkscreen printing and exploring the unique possibilities of printing on papyrus, a material deeply rooted in ancient Egyptian traditions.

By starting Shahin Studios, I aimed to provide a platform to showcase our artistic vision and create a bridge between past and present, combining traditional methods with contemporary expressions. Our commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident in every project we work on.
