About The Artwork

Wayang is a traditional form of puppet theatre play originated on the Indonesian island of Java. Wayang refers to the entire dramatic show. Sometimes the leather puppet itself is referred to as wayang. The dramatic stories depict mythologies, such as episodes from the Hindu epics of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, as well as local adaptations of cultural legends. Traditionally, a wayang is played out in a ritualized midnight-to-dawn show by a dalang, an artist and spiritual leader; people watch the show from both sides of the screen. UNESCO has declared Wayang as a Masterpiece of The Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, which means that we as Indonesian need to preserve it as a precious cultural treasury. Through this artwork, I just want to share worldwide the Indonesian culture to experience even in your very home. This work was done with acrylic on canvas since it does not take too long to dry it up. With a touch of Picasso's cubism, I added up my own art style into it. It has a smooth physical texture and is equipped with a high-quality frame as well as hanging hardware.

I was born in Indonesia on June 20th, 1966, as the youngest son among four children of my parents. I was raised in a small town called Mojokerto, and till now I still dwell in the same town with my own family. My works are influenced by Pablo Picasso and my draw inspirations come from my background as a Chinese Indonesian. I incorporate an Indonesian traditional art element called batik and Chinese element into my works, forming my own style of art. The technique I use is just basic techniques for cubism, but I also added a traditional batik element to fill the empty spaces. Mostly, I love doing acrylic on canvas because it does not need a long time to dry up.
