Gulgee

Gulgee was born in 1926 in Peshawar, Pakistan. He studied civil engineering at Aligarh University before travelling to the US to continue his higher education. While he was an engineering student at Columbia University in the United States, he started to paint. Ismail Guljee, as he was famously known, received many requests for his paintings internationally, from the likes of the the Saudi royal family to the Islamabad presidency. Many of his works are on display in the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad.
