Wan Soon Kam was born in 1943, Singapore. He graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1961 and started working under a publishing company which allowed him to become more familiar with acrylic, oil, and watercolour. Wan then became a full-time painter in 1976 after quitting his job. 

 

Wan is mostly known for landscape and street scene paintings in acrylic and watercolour, he also specialises in mixed media in his works. 

 

Despite being a rather low profile artist, he has had several exhibitions both locally and internationally throughout his career. He also received an award in 1977 for his contributions to Singapore’s art scene.
