Abstract

The avian humanoid hybrid creatures appeared in many visual representations in Egypt and other different cultures, either as human-headed birds or bird-headed humans, however, the Ba - soul bird - from Ancient Egypt, was the clearest ancient representation of human-headed birds, among other examples. The main objective here is to revive the depiction of the Ba - soul bird - and represent it by new forms of the human-headed bird imagery using the hoopoe birds. This paper is a documentation of the process of the paintings executed by the researcher between March 2020 and April 2021, which will be discussed until they got exhibited in the small art gallery of the Faculty of Fine Arts-Helwan university in May 2021. This output follows previous theoretical research that the researcher executed earlier, which presented a brief history of the appearance of such depiction - of the human-headed bird hybrid creature - in many different cultures.
