About The Artwork
expand_more
Nagui Achamallah’s Salsa pulses with rhythm, color, and emotion, capturing the raw energy of dance and human connection. Painted in acrylic on canvas, the composition is alive with interwoven figures, their angular forms echoing the syncopated beat of Latin music. Bold reds, blues, yellows, and greens heighten the intensity, while the dramatic contrasts in light and shadow emphasize movement and intimacy.
The work conveys both the joy and tension of communal celebration. Each dancer’s stance and expression speaks to the universal language of music, desire, and passion, where individuality meets collective rhythm. The layered, almost cubist construction of the scene suggests that dance itself is both fragmented and whole, a fleeting moment held in harmony. Salsa is a vibrant statement piece that invites viewers to feel the heartbeat of the music and the vitality of human connection.

About the artist

Nagui Achamallah's artistic journey is one that spans continents and disciplines.
Born in Alexandria, Egypt, Nagui’s passion for painting blossomed during his college years, leading him to immerse himself in the independent fine art study program at the University of Alexandria Atelier while pursuing his medical degree. This dual pursuit of art and medicine would profoundly shape his artistic perspective.
Throughout his academic years, Nagui’s talent garnered recognition, with participation in university group exhibitions and competitions, accompanied by notable scholastic awards. In 1973, he unveiled his inaugural solo exhibition at the University Physician's Club, followed by another in 1975 at the prestigious French Cultural Center in Alexandria.
Upon immigrating to the United States, Nagui embarked on a fulfilling career in psychiatry, a profession that he believes significantly influenced his approach to painting. Now semi-retired from medical practice, he resides in Southern California, where he devotes his time to his art.
Nagui’s prolific output reflects his unwavering dedication to his craft, producing a substantial body of work comprising medium and large-scale paintings, alongside numerous smaller pieces and drawings annually. His chosen mediums of acrylics and oil paint serve as the vessels for his creative expression.
