Ismail Latiff often transports his viewers to another world where everything is carefree, serene and tranquil. His pieces often feature the theme of escapism, as if in a dream or gazing upon galaxies or even water. Omnipresent in his works is also the circle that decks the canvas, drawing the attention of the viewers. It is a symbol of perfection, a balance, explained the artist, an embodiment and search to be one and whole with the universe.
