Amar was born in 1979 to Tunisian parents. In 1984 his parents decided to send him - along with his siblings - to school in Hammamet . Until he was 19 he lived in his parents' villa in Hammamet, which he himself described as "artistic".

The Tunisian painter Aly Ben Salem lived near this house. When Amar started painting at the age of ten, he received advice and encouragement from Aly Ben Salem. Amar stayed with painting and was able to open his first exhibition in Hammamet in 1993.

At the age of 19, he chose Paris as his primary residence and focused entirely on art. He was extremely successful with this: his works have been exhibited in over 20 countries, including France, Italy, Egypt, Japan and the USA.

According to his official website, he died at the age of 31 on the night of August 24-25, 2010. Other sources give September 6th as the death date. The exact circumstances of his death are still unclear (as of September 11, 2010).

He was buried on September 10, 2010 in Hammamet.

Amar Ben Belgacem was a member of the International Association of Plastic Arts, the European Association for Plastic Arts, the International Academy “Lutece”, the Association of Fine Artists of Tunisia and the Association of the plastic artists of Hammamet.
