His artworks revolve around questions of trust, interspersed with fragments of modernity set against his own social experience. Qoror's blend of portraiture, pop-textiles, and surrealistic imagery invokes curiosity, confusion, and a playfully honest connection with our contemporary world. Each artwork represents a point of self-reflection: "We live in a catastrophic world...I express my response through my works and I'm constructing a question of our madness."

A native of Indonesia, Iqi Qoror started his career as a professional Visual Artist with a Master’s Degree in Fine Art. Qoror's combination of different media merges not only different art practices such as painting and embroidery but past and present as well. The combination of modern expressionistic style of portraits without faces with pops of color render his artworks unforgettably visceral.

Qoror constantly challenges himself to be more experimental and versatile in his art practice, from installation to mixed media painting. Through this innovation-fueled journey, Qoror has established himself as one of the fastest rising stars of the Indonesian art scene. He has been labeled an emerging artist to watch who knows how to move distinctly between representational, figurative, and surrealist imagery. His artworks have been exhibited in international hot spots such as Singapore, Hong Kong, New York, and Los Angeles and have been collected worldwide.
