Early life
Dr Pogus Caesar was born on the Caribbean island of St Kitts and came to Britain at an early age and up in Birmingham. A self-taught artist, he took up painting seriously in his early 20s.

This minutely detailed use of a fountain pen meant that even the smaller works took several months to complete.
Career
During the early 1980s Caesar was appointed director of the West Midlands Minority Arts Service. He was also the first chairman of Birmingham International Film & Television Festival.
