Afiqah is a Singapore-based visual artist and educator with a Diploma in Western Painting from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), and a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the School of Creative Arts and Media at the University of Tasmania, Australia. With over seven years of experience in the art education scene, she has taught both children and adults across several art studios in Singapore. She currently works as an Atelierista at a Preschool and also serves as a freelance art instructor.

Afiqah’s artistic practice is rooted in drawing, often exploring the delicate interplay between memory, time, and space. She currently works primarily with fine pen and charcoal—mediums that allow her to explore intricate details and textures, drawing the viewer into quiet, contemplative worlds. Her recent work reflects a deep interest in the subjectivity of light, employing both subtle transparency and dramatic contrasts to evoke shifting atmospheres and emotional undercurrents. Each line and shadow becomes part of a visual language that speaks to the fragility of experience and the passing of moments.

In 2023, Afiqah was awarded Gold in the Emerging Artist Category at the 42nd UOB Painting of the Year competition in Singapore. She also collaborated with Pan Pacific Group for the Food x Art initiative and conducted a unique chocolate art workshop as part of a creative partnership between renowned pastry chef Janice Wong and UOB Group.

Beyond fine art, Afiqah is also a children's book illustrator. She has collaborated with Malaysian author and educator Josephyne Ho—principal of one of the EtonHouse Preschools—to illustrate three heartfelt titles: My Daddy is the Best, My Mommy Loves Me More, and My Grandpas, My Birding Buddies. Through her illustrations, she brings warmth and imagination to stories that resonate with both children and parents alike.

Balancing roles as an artist, educator, and illustrator, Afiqah continues to explore new ways of storytelling through visual form—always led by curiosity, tenderness, and the quiet power of observation.
