Luqman Ismail

Luqman Ismail (b. 2002, Kelantan, Malaysia) is a contemporary artist based in Shah Alam, Selangor. A graduate of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam, where he majored in Printmaking, Luqman is recognised for his experimental approach to materials and process. His practice explores innovative printmaking methods, particularly hydro masking, a technique that employs water as an active matrix to generate textures and transfer imagery using industrial spray paint. Drawing inspiration from science, philosophy, and narrative, his works investigate themes of perception, transformation, and the fluid nature of existence, inviting viewers to reflect on how we understand ourselves and the world around us.
