About this listen

Step inside Brushstroke Radio, the art podcast where ideas wear eyeliner and history struts like a pharaoh. In this episode, we dive into the creative current behind ancient Egyptian art—the original concept art of civilization. Long before digital brushes and mood boards, Egyptian artists were building entire visual worlds: gods with symbolic color palettes, kings designed on strict proportion grids, and narratives carved in stone long before storyboards existed. We explore how hieroglyphics became the first graphic design system, how temple walls functioned like immersive concept art panels, and why the Amarna revolution still feels like a daring visual reboot. Then we leap forward to today, where modern concept artists borrow those same motifs—iconic silhouettes, cosmic symbolism, engineered symmetry—to craft films, games, and futuristic worlds. This episode uncovers how ancient Egypt didn’t just shape history; it shaped imagination itself. If you want to understand where world-building truly began, tune in to Brushstroke Radio and let the Nile of creativity pull you in.
