About this artwork
In the painting titled Witch, a woman appears in profile, her form constructed from sharp, intersecting geometric planes that lend her a sculptural rigidity. She wears a vibrant red dress and a matching headpiece, both of which flow outward in jagged, rhythmic folds. On her shoulder rests a thin stick, serving as a perch for a stylized green bird that stands out against the deep, dark green of the background.
The geometric fragmentation suggests… a rejection of natural softness, representing a soul hardened and restructured by occult knowledge. Her red attire evokes the primal life force . while the green bird acts as a psychopomp, a messenger between the physical world and the verdant, shadowed mysteries of the unconscious. By carrying the bird on a fragile stick, she demonstrates a mastery over the balance between the material and the ethereal, framing the witch not as a villain, but as an architect of hidden realities

Credentials
- Works on commission
Born in Alexandria, Egypt, Nagui's passion for painting blossomed during his college years. While pursuing his medical degree, he concurrently enrolled in the independent fine art study program at the University of Alexandria Atelier. This dual pursuit of art and medicine would profoundly shape his artistic perspective.
His early work quickly gained recognition. In 1973, he held 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 career in psychiatry, a profession he believes has significantly influenced his approach to painting.
Artistic Practice: Nagui maintains a prolific output, annually producing a substantial body of work that includes medium and large-size paintings, alongside numerous smaller pieces and drawings.
