Moin has studied architecture and visual communication design prior to fine arts. His study of these respective fields gives him his distinctive style. Throughout his academic journey, he excelled in various competitions and received recognition for his talent. Notably, he was awarded the 1st National Urban Sketching Competition in 2017 by the Department of Architecture, University of the Punjab. He also received an award of participation in the Louis I. Kahn Trophy at the 55th Annual NASA Convention in 2013 and participated in the 56th Annual NASA Convention in 2014, held in India. Recently, his work has been on display in Muscat Art Expo, 3rd Edition, in Muscat, Oman.
Moin has been working in the field alongside his academics since his first-ever exhibition back in 2011. He is currently based in the city of Lahore, where he is running his art studio, teaching art and drawing to students, and continuing his professional art practice.
Moin constructs his narrative through a fusion of visual memory and imagination. His reliance on memory introduces a loss in translation, giving rise to stylized pseudo-historical monuments, familiar-yet-unrecognizable objects, and surreal landscapes that blur the line between reality and fantasy. His work evokes both familiarity and curiosity, inviting viewers to explore the intersections of the known and unknown.
His current interests include the evolutionary and devolutionary trajectories of societies, cultures, and traditions, as well as theological concepts spanning both theistic and atheistic perspectives. He remains open to new areas of exploration.
Throughout his practice, he has experimented with various mediums, including ballpoint pens, archival pens, graphite, oil, and acrylic paints. His preferred medium today is archival pen and acrylic paint.
