Indonesian Shadow Picture

  • Year:

    2024

  • Size:

  • Material/Technique:

Using a pen to draw people, animals, and other motifs, he slowly fills every inch of the paper without leaving any whitespace, all from his unique perspective.His introverted and earnest nature is reflected in his work, with each line drawn meticulously, resembling delicately intertwined thin threads.In daily life, he seldom speaks, and when asked for his opinion, he is often seen blushing and responding with very few words in a very faint voice. However, his artwork releases all his innermost thoughts, brimming with a compelling intensity. He is one of those who found a way to express himself through his creations, and the way he perceives this world is expected to continue expanding.
