Souk Fragments 7

Acrylic On Canvas Painting By :

Ahmed Alnahas -

Ahmed Alnahas portrays the festive energy of a Sudanese marketplace through dramatic contrasts and celebratory details. Colorful bunting drapes across dark archways while a yellow minaret and palm tree rise against billowing clouds. Silhouetted figures mingle with vendors in vibrant robes—blues, yellows, reds—as children play and dogs roam freely. Tea sellers, shoppers with umbrellas, and seated groups populate the sun-drenched plaza. The painting's bold simplification and strategic color placement capture the joy, community, and everyday poetry of souk life.
