Qgam, a quiet, serious man grew up like most of the artists from the Art Project in the Ghanzi district.
In the years that he has been practising as an artist, he has produced beautiful oil paintings. He had also made some very sensitive line etchings, lithographs and brightly coloured lino cuts.

Like his character, his work has a feeling of modesty, simplicity and honesty. He depicts the animals he has encountered in his life. Through his art he portrays a deep knowledge of the animals, the veld and the traditions of his people.
He has very vivid recollections of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle in which he grew up. He says, "As a child, life was hard, but it was also fine because there was always meat. We were not hungry many times, because our parents could hunt for food. Nowadays you can not even cook a tortoise in the ash or you get caught and put in jail".

He loves to paint the eland and the gemsbok, which comes from his memories of how the elders of the tribe went hunting for them. He remembers the joy of the people when the hunters came back with large animals. He remembers the feasting and the dancing around the fire and how they would have enough to eat for days.
Like that of the other Bushmen artists, his work has been exhibited worldwide.

Qgam is married and has five children.
