Souk Fragments 8

Ahmed Alnahas captures the warmth and intimacy of Sudanese market life through rich earth tones and radiant color. Four arched doorways frame bustling vendor stalls while figures in brilliant yellows, blues, reds, and whites populate multiple tiers of activity. Seated women chat in the foreground, children gather, dogs wander, and merchants sell their wares beneath golden afternoon light. The painting's layered composition and warm palette—ochres, terracottas, and deep purples—evoke the heat, humanity, and timeless rhythms of the souk.
