Reacting to his immediate african environment, where barrels of oil in primary colors are thrown away after use, his creations transgress continental borders, garring praise from the best international galleries, with purchases from important collectors around the world. These disused oil barrels - hammered and reworked by hand - offer an aesthetic distinct from his work, which transforms the recovered metal into a functional, artistic design product, whether it is a limited edition collectible dining room table or a multi-purpose console. "through recycling, I am able to offer a truly local innovative response for waste produced from scarce resources in our region, " he explains. Hamed's minimalist philosophy is the result of unique pieces that have each been nourished by his know-how.
