Will Iskandar is a digital artist who draws inspiration from contemporary culture, literature, and history. His unique style involves layering images to create a fresh perspective on his surroundings and to explore new ideas and principles.
Inspired by the principle of "Dancing when the Spirit tells one to Dance," Will approaches his art with a sense of playfulness and curiosity. Using two mobile devices, he implements his daily occurrence of the great escape, producing art that challenges us to think more deeply about our own thought processes and encourages us to revisit ideas and principles anew.
Will's artwork encompasses a wide range of themes, including social, economic, and political fractures, as well as concepts such as pain, suffering, pleasure, beauty, justice (or the lack thereof), human rights, the soul, the variety of life, quantum physics, gravity, electromagnetism, entanglement, the singularity, time and its passage, angles, vibrant colors, contrasts, reflections, the yin yang, fast-moving bosons, and poetry. Through his work, Will invites us to explore the complexities of the world around us and to embrace new ways of seeing and understanding it.
Born in Jordan, Will Iskandar lives between Amman, Jordan and Dubai, UAE.
