M. Umar is a jewelry artist and an academic based in Pakistan. With an undergraduate degree from the National College of Arts and a Master’s degree in Contemporary Art for Educators (MCAE) from the University of Sydney, Australia, he completed his MPhil in Art and Design Education from the Pakistan Institute of Fashion and Design, Lahore. Currently he is serving the Gems and Jewelry Design Department, Pakistan Institute of Fashion and Design, Lahore, as an assistant professor. Umar has held a number of exhibitions at national and international levels. He is interested in studying the object and its interpretation in daily life. His lucid narrative relays the story of each material used and each object made through the lens of personal experiences. While nuances of materials and dialogues in the interstices attract attention to each piece from both the casual observer and the keen, critical eye, the cadenced forms only yield their meanings to those who care to read them as a chapter of art history.
