Ismail Latiff
|
Melaka born artist who gained his
formal training at Mara Institute of Technology, Ismail Latiff has
shown his work locally as well as internationally.
" I embarked on a conquest of
inner space, texture and colour bringing the beauty of the natural
world indoor, that is transformed onto paper and canvas. I have
explored my work in such a way which might lead to confusion and
curiosity on the part of my viewers, I hope that the viewer will
explore my work through his or her own individual imagination and
perception of the world. I have arrived at my philosophy of life and
work: Art is Life and one of the Best Introduction to Art is
Nature."

"Ismail’s colours are
vibrant and alive. Colours is energy, colours is light. Each
colour symbolises a state of being and levels of cosmic
existence."
Chu Li (photographer,1992)
"…one of the greatest
escape artists ever to wield the brush. (Ismail) is the realm of
the enchanted and the enchanting, an utopian world built on love,
beauty, purity and power."
