Zamin Hussain from Quetta graduated from the National College of Arts, Lahore, in 2000. Since then, he has worked independently, away from the public eye, quietly developing a deeply personal body of work. Over the years, he has built this practice not through continuous output, but through perseverance across long intervals of silence and struggle. Life offered him few uninterrupted stretches to create, yet he kept returning to his practice, again and again. In the long pauses — some lasting years — he never let go of drawing, often turning to self-portraiture as a way to hold on to his craft and reflect his evolving inner world. His work spans marble sculpture, drawing, painting, and recently, wire and stainless steel. Among his paintings, The Wrung Series stands out as a meditation on persistence within confinement — works born out of isolation and rendered with decaying textures, dripped pigments, and quiet endurance. The series transforms the absence of inspiration into a record of resilience, echoing his broader artistic journey. One of his early sculptures, Embryo, carved from a block of marble, captures the emotional solitude and resilience that define his path. Now, after years of quiet making, Zamin feels ready to share this accumulated work — not as a beginning, but as a continuation of a path long travelled inward.
