Title : The Beauty of My Masks
Medium : candles
Size : each art objects 25 x 16 cm
Year : 2002
This installation made by candles. These artworks talk about masks that everyone always have. It's mean we use it in different masks to meet different people.
I don't really like these masks, but i have to wear it.In the end of these artworks story is i burn all the masks and become pure candles.
The visual of these masks is in different color with holes in it. Fill with water and have small candles in it that burn out the masks.
It's a beautiful process to burn the masks from inside, seems like you have small power from inside that burn out your masks. Makes another color that beautiful and you can enjoy.
My painting start from daily words. In my pray and my private life. The secret words that I’m not used to talk to the public. Starts from playing words, fonts, colors to become more artistic. My deep expressions. Words that peoples not really understand. Mumbles, slogans, sang, melodies in my hearts.
I don’t want people thing that art is far away from human. Art for me is something to enjoy, beauty, fun not something too heavy for anybody.
It’s my honor if people who see my painting can enjoy it, can smile, feel happy, motivated, same as I feel while I painting it. Destroy my problems, routines. I can playing with public rules to explore it in my canvas. That’s only an icon that I play it. In our complicated words today, I hope there’s anybody who has pure heart. See light is light, beauty is beauty, simple is simple, not intended to disparage the meaning of beauty, simple, and light. That’s never be wrong to become a kid to see colour ,shape, form, icon can free to play for aesthetic. Refreshing from the world full of rules, hidden meaning, and suspicions.
When first I decide to be a painter, my folks told me to be an architect or a designer instead. Commonly, I guess...
Though, I choose my path as a painter. Yet I only do what I do and love best.....
And that's mean painting!
Born and raised in Palembang, Indonesia, have a great effect on me. I have grown as a person whose speak out my mind, and dare challenges. Come from a religious family, have made me want to know God more and more.....
It's reflect a lot in my art works. Not only paintings, often I explore another media too.....

Title : Worship is Art
Medium : art installation;
Mixed media; fabric, video art, TV, CD player, Projectors
Size : 700 x 300 m
Year : 2002
The process of this artwork is from my performances that become a video-art and then display it in installation art. I make the storyboard and whole the plans and my friends help me to bring it up into artwork.
There are three part of action in the video-art :
First part is where I am a sad, frustration. A woman who become mad and more mad. Wearing a psycho outfit and struggling want to be free. Someone release me and I become really happy.
Part two; I am in the peace private room that I really enjoy it. I feel really comfortable and enjoy the space. I dance like I want, I sing like I want, I really enjoy it.
Then, it becomes really a daily routine and there is no meaningful anymore. And it has becomes ruined.
