We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Wahab

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Wahab Jaffer. Wahab Jaffer, a remarkable artist and lifelong collector and patron of Pakistani art, dedicated his life to championing its history.
He played an integral role in our mission to preserve and promote Pakistani art. He believed the stories of Pakistani artists deserved to be shared, and his extraordinary collection stands as an invaluable record of the country's modern art heritage. His commitment to ensuring that future generations would know and appreciate this rich artistic heritage continues to guide our work.
He leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire Pakistan's artistic landscape for generations to come, and we are deeply grateful for that.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. May he rest in peace. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un

We are thrilled to introduce Nabita Zafar, one of the talented artists joining us for Always, from the heart Volume II at VM Art Gallery.

Nabita Zafar is a contemporary multidisciplinary visual artist and writer from Hyderabad, Pakistan. She graduated with honors from the Center of Excellence in Art & Design (CEAD), MUET. Working across painting, installation, immersive environments, sound, and participatory practices, her work explores memory, emotional landscapes, urban existence, climate anxiety, and the human search for connection. As a writer at heart, Zafar approaches each artwork as the construction of a distinct visual language where words become secondary to atmosphere, sensation, and emotional resonance. Her work has been exhibited nationally at VM Art Gallery, Full Circle Gallery, Shakir Ali Museum, Anna Molka Gallery, and the Artist’s Association of Punjab.

Stay tuned to see how Nabita’s unique perspective and intricate work come to life during her time with us!
