Gus Dur Drawing

My inclination towards art began to appear from elementary school, I often participated in several competitions representing my school, until when I chose to enter college, which at that time was attended by several friends from my generation, it turned out that I did not pass the selection, while my friend continued his studies at a university. I didn’t give up, I caught up by doing a lot of self-study, studying with several artists, going online, and trying it my self. Starting from sketches, drawings, paintings, digital painting, graphic design, until finally several of my works have been collected from several big cities in Indonesia, and even more have been collected from abroad, including America, Russia, Netherlands and Turkey. Until now, I have been intent on processing figures and faces as visual objects. Because humans are the most unique creatures on this earth, they are objects and subjects at the same time, this is what has inspired me a lot in creating paintings in an impressionist realist style. I have participated in various kinds of exhibitions, several works have also passed the selection at overseas exhibitions, but shipping and cost constraints have meant that theyhave not yetbeen delivered to exhibit abroad, hopefully one day. Apart from that, I am also active in the field of writing, several works ofpoetry, opinions and essay have often been published in local magazin
