Born in 1970 in the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, Abdul Nasser Amer is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in painting, photography, video, and installation art. He honed his artistic skills by attending several training courses in painting and other artistic practices at the Palestinian Association of Artists in Gaza. In 2004, Amer was nominated by the Khalil Sakakini Center to participate in the Summer Academy at Darat al-Funun in Amman, where he was mentored by the renowned artist Professor Marwan Kassab-Bachi.

Currently residing in Khan Yunis, Amer is a founding member of the Eltiqa Group for Contemporary Art and has managed the art studio of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society since 1996. In this role, he has coordinated exhibitions and organized art workshops. He is also a member of the Palestinian Association of Artists in Gaza. Since 1998, Amer has held numerous solo exhibitions, including Where at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris and at the A. M.

During the Israeli assault on Gaza in the winter of 2008-2009, Abdul Nasser Amer’s studio and some of his artworks were destroyed. In the most recent aggression of 2023-2024, he lost his home, his family’s home, and his studio, which was located on the rooftop of his house, due to Israeli bombardment of Khan Yunis camp. The residential block where the artist and his family lived was completely obliterated. Abdul Naser Amer's recent paintings are inspired by the environment in which he lives. His works draw heavily on female figures, which dominate most of his creations. As he explains, these figures reflect the purest emotions. His style, techniques, and themes possess a distinctive quality that evokes various layers of meaning and significance.
