Nabil Nahas

Nabil Nahas is a Lebanese-American painter known for his richly textured, large-scale canvases that explore the intersection of nature, abstraction, and ornament. His signature works often incorporate starfish, sea urchins, and other natural forms embedded in thick, luminous layers of acrylic paint mixed with natural materials, creating surfaces that shimmer and pulsate with color. Born in Beirut and based in New York, Nahas occupies a distinctive position in contemporary painting, drawing on both Western abstraction and the decorative traditions of the Arab world.
