Akram Dost Baloch is among the founding faculty of the Fine Arts Department at University of Balochistan (Pakistan). He grew up with an in-depth knowledge of history, arts and crafts of his region and much of that background is incorporated in his work.

Akram has been working with wood for the sure pleasure of the process involved. His studio in Quetta (Pakistan) contains a variety of works in progress, paintings with decorative frames, screens containing painted panels and compositions of wood that reflect his different moods. His work is in reflection of his own personal aesthetic issues, assimilating nature with life and suggesting that all are endangered species.

In 2004, Akram Baloch received the President’s Pride of Performance, the highest art award in Pakistan.
