Visual Artist
I've been painting for twenty years. I've grown to love this process a lot. It hasn't just taught me much about the world, but also about myself.

story
I started to be interested in art
My interest in art began when I was 8 years old. Many of the books I owned at that time featured lots of images and paintings, making my imagination fly.
At the age of 18 I started to become proficient in drawing and painting. That was the first time my work, which consisted of paintings of mountains and green savanna, was offered by someone.
Art Sales
I was born in Indonesia, East Java province, as an Indonesian citizen who grew up in the beauty of East Java, my life journey came to the fore when I decided to pursue my artistic passion. At the young age of 18, I had a valuable experience by starting to sell my paintings in Indonesia, blazing a trail of art that stretched before my eyes.
At that time I was lucky to have the opportunity to live in Australia and release my curiosity about the outside world, even though in a short period of time, it was enough for me to gain various kinds of positive insights and learn about art. It didn't stop there, my interest in working on the art process encouraged me to start marketing paintings like when I was in Indonesia. And that's when I found a market in Australia.
Just like the story in Australia, experiences and interest in the outside world make me currently live in Chicago, United States, weaving a life story full of artistic journeys, personal growth, and adaptation in facing various different cultures.
