Artist: WCMTL (wcmtl.com / @wcmtl)
Will Raojenina (WCMTL), born in Montreal to Malagasy immigrant parents, is a multidisciplinary artist now based in Los Angeles. His work delves into human connection, exploring themes of belonging, identity, and the immigrant experience, particularly for people of color. WCMTL's vibrant art invites viewers to look beyond surface differences, fostering empathy and understanding.
His creative process blends figurative portraiture with abstract elements, incorporating heavy textures and found objects — such as basketballs, tennis balls, and shopping carts — transforming everyday materials into powerful metaphors. This fusion of the familiar and abstract gives each piece layers of meaning that resonate universally.
Guided by the belief that we can "Connect Through Empathy," WCMTL’s work challenges viewers to step into others’ shoes, recognize shared struggles, and celebrate diverse perspectives. His art sparks dialogue and fosters a more inclusive, connected community. Committed to giving back, WCMTL donates works to organizations that uplift and empower others.
