Born in 1974 (Qikiqtarjuaq, Broughton Island)

Idris Moss-Davies was raised in Broughton Island and then moved south with his family. His mother is Inuit and his father is Welsh.

Idris has a style of his own, with an incredible sense of fluidity and calm movement. The softness of the facial expression in his figures is quite unique. Oftentimes, his art combines traditional themes and motifs with a modern form and expression. His elegant and stylized drum dancers are a perfect example of his unique style.

Idris Moss-Davies inspired a number of well-known carvers in his career, and is constantly evolving as an artist, making him a reference in Contemporary Inuit art.
