Come and meet Omar Gilani Art & Illustration, a digital artist from Pakistan. Omar’s imagination takes his country into a fantasy future. Lose yourself in his future world at the Culture Arcade in the Prince Claus Fund Gallery. Omar is a digital artist, illustrator, and designer from Peshawar, Pakistan. He was trained as an engineer, with an MSc in Mechanical Design and an MPhil in Robotics. He wanted a career more in line with his interests and started working as a visual designer and consultant. That took him into corporate design, mobile games and apps, animated TV series and product marketing campaigns. Gilani’s work was supported by the Prince Claus Fund in 2017.
