About Nevine Meguid

Nevine Meguid is an avant-garde multidisciplinary artist based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, with Australian and Egyptian roots. After beginning her career in graphic design, she moved into fine art, developing a distinctive practice shaped by experimentation, materiality and form. Her artistic journey has included an Artist in Residence programme at Manarat Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi.

Her work explores a diverse range of mediums, including fluid alcohol inks, sea salt, acrylic and mixed media, which she uses to create layered compositions rich in movement, texture and light. A fascination with Arabic calligraphy is central to her practice. Rather than using traditional script, Nevine abstracts the forms of individual Arabic letters, reinterpreting them through contemporary paintings, sculptures and installations.

Transparent acrylic and natural light also play an important role in her work, allowing pieces to shift and evolve as light moves across and through their surfaces. This interplay between calligraphy, abstraction, material and light has become a defining element of her visual language.

Nevine creates original works and limited editions for collectors internationally. Her work has been exhibited at venues including Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, Wollongong University in Dubai, Manarat Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi, and the Islamic Museum of Australia in Melbourne.
