Abushariaa Ahmed graduated from Sudan University’s College of Fine and Applied Arts in 1990. After leaving Sudan in the mid-90s, he lived in Kenya for several years and later spent time in Cologne, Germany. Since 2000, Ahmed has resided in Kampala, Uganda, where he continues to work as a full-time artist.
His artistic style is heavily influenced by the pioneers of Sudan's contemporary art movement, such as Ibrahim el Salahi and Rashid Diab. These artists were key figures in the 1960s Khartoum School, a modernist movement that combined Western influences with Sudan's rich cultural traditions, creating a distinctive style known as Sudanawiyya, reflecting the country’s diverse heritage.
Ahmed’s work has been exhibited widely in East Africa, as well as internationally in Canada, the US, Germany, Denmark, Monaco, and the UK. His art is featured in numerous private and public collections worldwide, including the African Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea, and the World Bank collection in Washington, DC, USA. He continues to push boundaries, contributing to the global appreciation of Sudanese modern art.
