Ismail Ucci works in a variety of mediums, including drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture. The quest for order and harmony and a long-standing fascination with color and still life form led to his years of relentless experimentation with varied artistic styles. Still-life is a perfect subject of the meditative approach he adopted in depicting the everyday objects. The subtle palette with diffused warm light gives a sensation of silent and peaceful intimacy to his work. He follows his own vision unhesitatingly and confidently without troubling at all where-ever it may lead him. His practice revolves around drawing, painting and pottery as one field extends itself to another and informs a direct interrelationship between the disciplines. Morandi, Vermeer and Picasso are recurring themes in his art. He admires the work of the old masters by initially making studies in sketchbook, which he later introduces into his work either through painting or pottery. He exploits a very particular way of achieving marks after the great masters. It continually excites him because it becomes a contributing factor to the way he interprets the present.
