Welcome to my website

ABEERA ATIQUE has been an internationally renound name in the world of fine arts for nearly two decades now. Having joined the field of art at the age of three, Abeera has been displaying her works across the globe; from book illustrations in the United States to Heart wrenching pieces on refugees in Europe, to mixed media displays across Middle and Far East Asia.

With a Masters’s Degree in Fine Arts, Abeera has managed to maintain a strong presence among the art communities of UAE, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and most recently Canada. In July 2019 Abeera joined the London International Academy in Ontario Canada as an IB Visual Arts Teacher.

Prior to Canada, Abeera was teaching at The Emirates National School in UAE as a DP Visual Arts Teacher and Department Coordinator. It was here that she joined one of the most renound group of artists in the Middle East and displayed a variety of her works at the annual art exhibition at the World Trade Center in Abu Dhabi UAE.

In 2017, Abeera was chosen from thousands of Middle Eastern Artists to display her work at the Migration and Empathy international art Exhibition in Bursa, Turkey. Artists from around the world got together to display astonishing pieces surrounding the lives of refugees across Europe; in an effort to express their suffering and pain. Abeera’s works in particular were deemed so moving that she was amongst only a handful of artists chosen to have their works permanently at the Gallery in Bursa.

Abeera has also held numerous solo and group exhibitions during her 13 years as a Fine Arts teacher at the Dhahran High School (DHS)of the International Schools Group (ISG) in Khobar Saudi Arabia. At DHS she was named the Art Department Chair and NESA (North East South Asia Conferences) representative for the ISG across Saudi Arabia. Abeera has also been a regular presenter at the NESA Conferences held in Thailand as well as the Cover Page Illustrator for the official NESA Conference magazines for six years in a row.

Furthermore, in 2011 ECIS ( European Council of International Schools ) invited Abeera to their annual conference in Spain as a featured guest speaker where she represented the Fine Arts Community of the Middle East to educators across the European continent. Not only that, but TARA (The Arabian Reading Association) held in Bahrain and PechaKucha in Saudi Arabia both have invited her to share her expertise and experience with participants from all over the world.

Abeera has illustrated around 21 books out of which 9 have been published by Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com and were released in the market in March 2006. Amidst her climb to fame, Abeera has had many amazing opportunities to travel around the world and witness numerous Ancient and modern masterpieces of Art; from the Sistine Chapel in Rome to the Al-Hamra Palace in Spain. Abeera’s thorough understanding of ancient roman and Islamic art has inspired the theme for many of her recent solo exhibitions. Alongside her Masters degree in Fine Arts Abeera holds a Bachelors degree in Home economics and numerous certifications in the field of ceramics, Digital Design, Interior Designing, English and a Toast Masters. She also holds her Post Graduate Certification in International Education with merit from Nottingham University. With a solid 18 years of teaching experience, Abeera has mastered teaching all age groups in a multicultural environment.

Most of Abeera’s work is featured in the Gallery of this website, each piece with a unique story and inspiration.

Abeera Atique is an amazing woman! She is an outstanding inspirational art educator and a fantastic artist! Abeera’s works always display passion. Behind each piece that she creates you can see that there is a story. It could be of a adventurous hero or of a young reflective student. She paints with her heart and soul. Abeera’s talents have spread throughout the NE/SA (Near East/South Asia) region of educators. Frequently she is asked to provide the cover design for various ISG and NE/SA programs. She is a talented, delightful, and gifted artist!

Abeera Atique: the Artist and the Illustrator. A magnificent illustrator, who on numerous occasions I have heard being described as a talented, innovative artist whose colorful work is full of imagination and understanding of the subject portrayed.However, it is her work in the medium of black and white ink sketches which captivated me. Abeera emphasis on detail brings her art pieces to life it is for this reason that I asked her to illustrate the covers of 8 of my books using this style. As a person, once you meet her, you cannot help but be enthralled by her passion and devotion to art. She is an artist who has many different kinds of imagination: one filled with colors and design and the other filled with black and white images. The covers she did for my books are beautifully designed, bringing to life the complex characters that I have portrayed in my books. Go to my website and check out her illustrations that are on the covers of my books.

Lawrence of Arabia: Writer and Warrior Whenever I promote my book I hang the illustrations Abeera did for me around the walls of the auditorium. Invariably they elicit very enthusiastic responses. Abeera’s illustrations bring my book alive and provide striking visuals for a proud time in Arabian history. Whether still life or action Abeera’s exceptional ability is more than equal to the task. Working with Abeera on a project is such a joy: she is so gracious and amenable to any request. Any writer lucky enough to work with her will be able to bring their work up to another level.

Habitat for Humanity Abeera is a free spirit and a joy. For five years she has supported the Habitat for Humanity program at Dhahran High School both with the funds she raised with her annual Art Show, and with her active participation on our trips to build houses in Sri Lanka. We can’t imagine the Habitat for Humanity program here without Abeera. She has done so much to teach the students to live for others. Her art reflects this spirit in so many ways

National Honor Society Abeera Atique’s colorful classroom at Dhahran High School is filled with engaged students who, on a daily basis, are inspired by their gifted instructor to create beautiful artwork. When her students speak of Ms. Atique, it is always in glowing terms with the words amazing, inspiring, generous and gifted used of her often. She has enriched our campus with her beautiful spirit and with the artistic gifts she shares so willingly with the students and staff. Students with little confidence in their artistic ability flourish under her watchful care and begin to enjoy the creative process. It is an honor to be on staff with Abeera Atique and exciting to see her work appreciated around the world.
