About

Mohammad Alam (Jay Alam), born in Karachi Pakistan was exposed to the art world at a young age. Born into a family of artists and engravers, he had all the fundamentals and tools he needed to succeed early on in his art career. Being inspired by his father’s work, he wanted to pursue being an engraver. He enrolled into the Karachi School of Fine Arts and successfully completed his diploma in Fine Arts with distinction. He applied his artistic background to pursue a career in Graphic Design and Illustration. He quickly rose to the rank of Art Director and continued to work for several years in many prestigious advertising agencies in Abu Dhabi. Throughout his career he has consistently been a part of the art community and has made great strides to develop his own unique style using watercolours, acrylics, oils and printmaking (monoprint, collagraphy) methods.
Although he is currently residing in Ontario Canada, the style he has developed and topics he enjoys painting, were a result from his upbringing in Pakistan. He has never forgotten his roots and strives to capture the essence and culture of Pakistan in all his works.
