Yoss Yoseff

With a foundation in fashion design, Yoss Yoseff graduated from UiTM Malaysia in 2018 before pursuing a master’s degree in design technology. His practice is a heartfelt dedication to his mother, honouring her devotion to family through intimate explorations of portraiture and textiles. Working across a range of mediums including oil, acrylic, and his signature ballpoint pen drawings, Yoss embeds Malaysia’s cultural heritage into his works through batik and other surface treatments. His compositions navigate the dualities of joy and tribulation, rendered with tenderness and quiet depth. Since 2023, Yoss has emerged as a notable voice in the regional art scene. His debut solo exhibition, Ronta Jiwa, at TAKSU Kuala Lumpur was a sold-out success, followed by a two-man exhibition at Yap Ah Shak House in 2024. He has also collaborated with prominent local brands such as KHATAM. With a fresh perspective and a deep commitment to cultural storytelling, Yoss continues to establish himself as one of Malaysia’s promising young artists.
