Biography

Largely self-taught, Nazim Baksh works in pen and ink, watercolour and oils, but paints mainly in acrylics. His subjects range from landscapes and wildlife to dancers, panmen and portraits, marked by vibrant colour and a strong interest in the play of light and dark. He studied drawing and typography at the John Donaldson Technical Institute, and holds a BSc in Computing and Information Systems (London Metropolitan University), a postgraduate degree in Arts and Cultural Enterprise Management and an MBA. A professional artist for twenty-five years, he founded Tobago Art in 2008 and co-founded the Tobago Visual Arts Association in 2012, serving as its first elected President. He works mainly on commissions for clients in the UK, US and Ghana, and published his first book, The Chronicles of Milo: Tales of a Stray, in 2024. A second, The Walk, is due in 2027.
