About the work

Painted from a bird's-eye perspective, this expressive work captures a densely layered cityscape enclosed within an organic boundary, with a winding blue river below and birds in flight flanking the scene. The muted grey background contrasts with bursts of colour within the urban mass, conveying both energy and fragility.

Amal Nasr (Egypt, 1965–present).

About the artist

Amal Nasr — Acrylic On Canvas, 70 × 60 cm (representative image)
Amal Nasr

Egypt, b. 1965

Amal Nasr, born in Alexandria in 1965, is a distinguished Egyptian painter, researcher, and art critic. She graduated top of her class from Alexandria University's Faculty of Fine Arts in 1988, specializing in painting. Nasr furthered her academic pursuits with a master's degree in photography in 1993 and a doctorate in 2000, focusing on the contemporary aesthetics of composition in oriental arts. She has held various academic positions at Alexandria University, culminating in her appointment as a tenured professor in 2010.

Nasr's artistic oeuvre is characterized by a fusion of ancient artistic influences with contemporary expression, spanning abstract, figurative, expressionist, and impressionist styles. Her work pulsates with an enigmatic aura, where every element, from humans to animals and inanimate objects, contributes to a cohesive narrative. She has held over seventeen solo exhibitions in Egypt and participated in numerous international exhibitions in countries such as the U.K., Italy, France, China, Jordan, and Kuwait. Notably, her exhibition "Another Horizon" at Safar Khan Gallery in 2022 marked a shift towards expressionism, offering an immersive experience with subtle narratives interlinking her paintings.

Throughout her career, Nasr has received several prestigious awards, including the first prize in painting at the 1990 Youth Salon and the State Prize for Creativity in 1998. In 2011, she was honored with the State Incentive Award for her contributions as a fine art critic, and in 2019, she received the award for scientific excellence from Alexandria University. Her works have also been featured in auctions, with realized prices ranging from $448 to $644, reflecting a growing recognition in the art market.

Acrylic

A fast-drying, water-based paint developed in the twentieth century. Versatile and vivid, it can mimic oil or watercolor and suits bold, flat color — a favourite of many contemporary artists across the region.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
