Adam Ummar (b.1996) is an emerging self-taught visual artist based in Kuala Lumpur creating abstract works in various media. His artworks that revolve around themes of emotions, psychology, philosophy, psychedelic culture, and science are explored through traditional and digital abstraction. His interests in design, the social sciences, and the humanities inform his creative practice.

With a keen interest in consciousness and the unconscious his work can be understood to be in constant dialogue with the arts and humanities. Taking cues from deconstructivism, he visually deconstructs and reconstructs the world around him to understand himself, others, and his environment.

In 2020, he was selected as one of the National Art Gallery Malaysia’s Young Art Entrepreneur. He has participated in exhibitions at galleries and virtual exhibitions with artists from across the Asian region.

UNIVORSO

'Univorso' is the name of the Tumblr blog I had back in 2010 and has since evolved into my artist pseudonym.

Univorso is inspired by the ancient Latin word 'universus' which means 'combined into one, whole'. It encompasses my artistic, ethical & philosophical worldview.

The 'Univorso' logo features the seven colours associated with the chakras, namely the root chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, third eye and, the crown chakra which are represented by red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo & purple, respectively.

The white geometry motif is the 'flower of life' design achieved by equally proportional overlapping circles representing the interconnectedness of life.
