About this artwork
The painting depicts a solitary bartender behind a polished mahogany counter. She leans against the bar. A green linen towel hangs loosely over her wrist, a tool of her trade now idle. In one hand, she tilts a stemmed wine glass, its bowl perfectly clear and devoid of even a single drop of liquid.
Behind her, the shelves are crowded with an arrangement of empty green glass bottles in a diverse array of shapes, each catching the dim light to create… a translucent, emerald mosaic. On the bar top before her, an open bottle sits uncorked and hollow. The absence of movement and the lack of patrons transform the tavern into a still life of desertion.
The scene carries an atmosphere of finality, as if the world outside has ceased to demand her service. The emerald glow of the empty bottles suggests a ghostly remnant of conviviality, now replaced by a stark, monochromatic silence.

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.
