Sigit Raharjo

I live in the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

I do exploration by observing objects that exist in nature. What's around we often do not get attention, we just miss it, maybe something is not attractive or even uncomfortable to look at. One of the artist's tasks is to make works with ordinary objects become extraordinary, unattractive objects become attractive, or something simple becomes complex, presenting them in detail in a painting.

As a realist painter, I have the freedom to determine objects, ideas and themes in my work. I will walk that path.
