Zaam Arif (b. 1999, Pakistan) lives and works in Houston, Texas. Arif is a self-taught artist who has trained under the tutelage of his parents, both of whom are painters. Arif's work is shaped by philosophical and literary influences, presenting introspection of the human experience. Portraying enigmatic moments of stillness that shift between interior scenes, portraiture and landscape, Arif's paintings probe the veracity of memory and images gleaned from the past. Arif's work was exclusively featured in The New Yorker in 2021, making him the youngest Pakistani artist to be published in the magazine.
