Life
Jama was born in Ljubljana, where he attended primary school and lower grammar school. He and his family subsequently moved to Zagreb, where he began to show an interest in painting while in high grammar school. He enrolled in grammar school and studied law, but in 1890, he left his studies and moved to Munich, where he enrolled in a private art academy. He returned to Ljubljana, where he made a living off his drawings. He drew illustrations for the journal Dom in svet during this period.
He returned to Munich in 1897, where he enrolled in Anton Aguibe's art academy with the support of the Carniolan Provincial Diet. He enrolled at the Munich artistic academy in the following year, but he did not complete his studies there. He married Dutch painter Luiza van Raders in 1902. Jama has lived and worked in various countries around Europe: Austria, Croatia, Germany, and the Netherlands. He returned to the Slovene Lands later that year, where he lived for a while in Bled and in Volji Potok. He eventually settled in Raica and then in Ljubljana.
Jama also made posters and illustrations in addition to oil paintings. He illustrated the first editions of several books by the well-known modernist writer Ivan Cankar, among other things. Claude Monet, one of the most influential of his later life, when he had "grown out" of his Secessionist period. Jama, who died in his prime, was really a landscape painter.

Jama worked with other Slovene impressionists, in particular Rihard Jakopi, with whom he worked in Donji emehovec and Kraljevec. Jama began to study light and became a true impressionist at this time. He began with watercolour in this period, but he stopped painting around 1900 and dedicated himself to painting with oil on canvas. He created the bulk of his best-known works using this technique, which he continued using until the end of his life.
