About Us

The Founder: Abdul Waheed Zafar

Abdul Waheed Zafar (AWZ) was a legend in Pakistan’s fine arts community. During his prolific career as both a commercial artist and trainer, he dedicated his life to achieving total technical mastery in traditional painting, portraiture, and composition. His passion for the arts remains visible in every stroke of his work, which was exhibited widely across Pakistan and internationally.
Zafar refined his professional skills through academic study at NCA Lahore, graduating in 1963. He further sharpened his technical mastery through exclusive apprenticeships under the titans of traditional art: mastering painting and composition in the studio of Ustad Allah Baksh in 1961, and studying portraiture with the reputed Ustad S.M. Khalid.

A Legacy Gesture: 2001

Inheritor of the founder’s technical curriculum and co-founder of Ali Art Studio, Muhammad Ali Zafar learned fine art mastery directly from his father, the visionary founder, ensuring that artistic passion “circulates in the blood” of our teaching. He further refined his academic foundation by completing a Diploma in Fine Arts from the prestigious Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture (IVS), Karachi, in 2019.
Muhammad Ali Zafar’s approach fuses these inherited technical secrets with modern academic standards and patient mentorship, dedicated to guiding every student toward technical excellence and authentic artistic confidence. He ensures that every course on our platform provides not just instructions, but true academic mentorship, respecting the 65-year standard established by Abdul Waheed Zafar.

I recently attended an acrylic painting workshop and it was a great experience! I learned many new techniques and tips that I didn’t know before. The session was really informative and enjoyable, perfect for anyone who wants to improve their painting skills or explore acrylic art. Highly recommended!
