Amel Bashier

b. 1981, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Lives and works in Boussy-Saint-Antoine, France.

Represented by Addis Fine Art.

Amel Bashier is a Sudanese artist whose intricate pen-and-ink and acrylic works explore womanhood, memory, and the layered inheritances of a life lived between cultures. Raised between Jeddah and Port Sudan, and trained in interior design at Sudan University of Science and Technology in Khartoum, Bashier draws on Nubian, Indian, Hadendoa, and coastal Sudanese lineages to craft a visual language that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant. Her compositions are populated by grounded, resolute, and sovereign women, who are often accompanied by quietly symbolic objects: palm branches, apples, hoopoes, and books. Returning to colour from her meditative black-and-white ink works is, for Bashier, a return to the vibrant chaos of lived experience.

Addis Fine Art presented her solo exhibition Ward El Juri in London in 2024, and a solo booth at Independent Art Fair, New York, in 2025. Her work is held in the collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation, and has been exhibited across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, including at the Sharjah Art Museum (2016), Abu Dhabi Art Fair (2023), and Al Owais Cultural Foundation, Dubai (2019).
