At the G. Free Atelier, besides practicing art, Sami was reading avidly all about the classics and falling in love with the Giants of the Italian Renaissance. He was particularly attracted to Michael Angelo, to Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Bernini. In 1963 Anuar Serugy, a well-known Egyptian sculptor, was among the teaching staff at the Free Atelier and Sami greatly benefited from his teaching. In 1964 he was sent to Egypt for a course of study at the Institute of Fine Arts in Cairo, he was well advanced in respect to the other students.

Egypt was for Sami the realization of a dream; there he met other artists, some of them quite famous. Teaching at the College of Fine Arts was Jamal Al Sigini, a renowned sculptor, who greatly expanded Sami's horizon of understanding.

In 1970 Sami Mohammed was back in Kuwait but his mind was now under the influence of many world-famous artists, and he had to struggle for many years before he could break free.

Before leaving to Egypt his works had a distinct inclination endued with his own personality; after his return from abroad he began to betray the influence of Henry Moor at first and then of others modern artists he admired. In studying their style, specially the works of RODIN, HENWEIN and LUTZ, Sami was trying to discover his own special formula in sculpture and painting, for he could find in them an echo of his own mind, the inner surge of his emotional nature and his human sympathies. In "Sabra and Shitila" (1983) he betrays the combined influences of RODIN, HELNWEIN and LUTZ. "ACTION 2 " and "ACTION 4" of Louis Lutz have influenced a series of creations of which "Getting out", and "Penetration " are the most prominent. In "Paralysis and Resistance", a large bronze figure of 1980 to which Sami has imparted his own humanity, his feelings and sentiments and his profound human compassion of an event that apparently touched him deeply .In this work is betrayed the influence of Gottfried Helnwein's sensational Self Portrait serials.
