Abdullah AlGhashim is a contemporary Saudi artist, born in 1994 in Unaizah and currently based in Riyadh. He holds a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Translation from Qassim University, which he completed in 2017.
Although his academic background is not in fine arts, his artistic journey began long before graduation. His early practice centered on wood — crafting handmade objects, exploring textures, and learning through hands-on experimentation.
After years of balancing creative work with various jobs, Abdullah made the decision over two years ago to dedicate himself fully to art. Since then, he has been deeply committed to expanding his practice through material experimentation, the adoption of new techniques, and collaborations with fellow artists.
His work has been featured in major exhibitions and large-scale public installations across Saudi Arabia. His recent artistic focus lies in integrating nature — especially plants — into contemporary art. He treats plants not merely as materials, but as living collaborators that respond and evolve.
Abdullah also engages with emerging technologies, incorporating tools such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and interactive light systems. His work explores the relationship between emotion, materiality, and the dynamic interaction between humans and the environment — creating spaces that invite reflection, connection, and sensory awareness.
