Bio
Abeer Al-Tamimi is a multidisciplinary artist currently pursuing an MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Her practice explores memory, absence, displacement, and the fragile ways personal histories are preserved. Working across installation, painting, film, and mixed media, she examines how material can carry traces of experiences that have been fragmented or lost.
Currently based in London, Abeer’s work is shaped by inherited histories of displacement and the absence of complete personal archives. Through materials including linen, charcoal, wood, sound, and oil paint, she investigates the relationship between memory and material transformation, creating works that hold traces of what remains rather than attempting to reconstruct what has been lost.
Abeer holds a Bachelor’s degree in Design Management from the American University of Sharjah, with a minor in Illustration and Animation. She has undertaken residencies at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris and Fire Station Doha. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at FIAC Paris, International Contemporary Art Fair Paris, Fire Station Doha and The Good Rice in London. She is a recipient of the Sheikha Manal Young Artist Award (Second Prize, Multimedia Category), and her work has been featured in publications including Artsper, Artsy, and Fire Station publications.
