Wahab Jaffer's artistic journey began in the 1970s when he had the privilege of learning from and painting alongside Pakistani art legends Ali Imam, Ahmed Parvez, and Bashir Mirza. During this era, the art community was characterized by a strong sense of camaraderie, mutual respect, and admiration, which helped artists navigate the challenges of their underappreciated profession.
Jaffer's solo exhibition debut took place in 1981 at the Indus Gallery, marking the beginning of his lifelong passion for exploring the possibilities of paint and canvas. His artwork transcends the mundane, instead offering a captivating visual experience that transports viewers to a realm beyond the ordinary.
As an artist who deeply appreciates the work of others, Jaffer has amassed an impressive private collection over the decades, which he treasures as his own personal "history." His work has been widely exhibited, earning him significant acclaim and appreciation.
