Ameni Abida is a self-taught Tunisian artist, living and working in Doha. Her upbringing was marked by a series of relocations, each move prompting a reinvention of her environment and, by extension, a do-over for herself. She lived in Nigeria, Libya, and Saudi Arabia, among other places. Her artistic trajectory is deeply personal, echoing her ongoing exploration of new environments and the emotional landscape they kindle. Working across painting, drawing, illustration, and digital media, she seamlessly blends conventional painting techniques with the digital and oftentimes intermixes both in her practice. This hybrid method allows her to create layered, vibrant, and emotive paintings that evoke the emotional and psychological undercurrents of her themes, encompassing mental health, self-love, identity, and the world around her.
