About The Artwork
expand_more
"The Negotiation" is a vivid and thought-provoking acrylic on canvas that captures a scene steeped in both tension and symbolism. Two female figures, seated within a dense backdrop of foliage, hold objects that juxtapose fragility with confrontation—a flower set against firearms. Their intense gazes and poised stances suggest a dialogue beyond words, one where power, vulnerability, and beauty intersect.
Achamallah’s use of bold red and blue-striped garments heightens the theatricality of the scene, while the figures’ stark skin tones and angular features create a sense of timeless archetypes. The contrast between the delicate bloom and the weapons speaks to dualities of creation and destruction, innocence and defiance, softness and strength.
This striking composition invites collectors to reflect on the complex layers of human interaction, making it not only a powerful visual statement but also a deeply interpretive work of contemporary figurative art.

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.
