Ahmad Rifqi aka Michael Rodion Raul Robenz

My name is Ahmad Rifqi Ardian, born in Jakarta, March 12, 1996, currently domiciled in South Tangerang. Bachelor degree at FSRD ITB 2014 - 2019. Artwork does not depend on a particular theme. I pay more attention to the universal issue of what humans do, and from there to give something different to this life through art style. However, my art style has evolved, and you could say that evolution is similar to the history of world art: in college, the universality that was concerned with was a very general one, namely the universe. I intend to simplify the human view of seeing life through art in the form of painting as a medium. It is a creative process that occurs throughout college until graduation, namely abstraction. This evolution really represents the evolution from romanticism, impressionism, to de stijl. After graduation, what is realized is relevance. Are abstractions and the universe relevant to me and life? Modernism is finally faced with rejection, namely Post-modernism. Abstract painting that became my previous style is not satisfying enough to talk about more relevant life problems. That's where my current art style was born, returning to the figurative and doing semiotics-...
