Ghulam Hussain is a contemporary visual artist from the city of Hyderabad, Sindh, a home to the world’s oldest civilization called Indus Valley Civilization, Pakistan. He is a trained miniaturist from National College of Arts Lahore, Pakistan, works with High and Low Craft Art.

Hussain's work is distinct due to its technique and simplicity, opening up a range of possibilities both for the artist and its viewers. Going back to his roots in Pakistan's province of Sindh, Hussain is challenging the notion of the high craft by integrating forms of low-craft, such as weaving and brick building, with the miniature style of painting.

His work has been set forth nationally as well as internationally. Devi Art Foundation Museum New Delhi, India; Fifth Beijing International Art Biennial in National Art Museum China, Award Grant Rockefeller Brothers Artist Residency New York, Award Grant The Artist Students League Artist Residency New York. Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands and Pakistan have been displayed his work thrivingly.
