Inaam Zafar - Biography
b. 1988, Lahore, Pakistan / Lives and works in Pakistan
Inaam Zafar is a visual artist and educator.
His work often references obscure sequences from experimental cinema as well as aged family photographs and images he has personally captured. Zafar views his painting process as an ongoing observational study, evolving with each iteration. In addition to his artistic practice, he collects botanical samples, fungi, dust, and soil from his travels across southern Punjab and northern mountains. These elements are integrated into his artwork to evoke memory and represent the passage of time through mineral layers.
He manages a non-profit school, Oasis School for Autism, dedicated to supporting autistic children, and founded the art initiative 'aut.art' in 2019 to promote the work of individuals on the autism spectrum. Zafar graduated from Beaconhouse National University in 2010 and has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally.
