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.

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. His primary mediums are acrylics and oil paint.
