About the artwork

Stefan Buana portrays the portraits of figures in a style uniquely different from usual portraits. He tends to carve the outlines of his figures into thick layers of acrylic paint, giving texture and expression to the figures. Rather than focusing on the forms and spaces, he simplifies them into single layers, to bring the viewers's focus to the emotions that the figures expresses, and the emotions that the viewers experiences.



About the artist

Stefan Buana is a rising star amongst Indonesia's emerging artists, marking his way with fascinating paintings and exquisite sculptures that challenge and amuse his collectors and critics. Stefan is known for his constant experimentation with various styles and media and his creation of unique art pieces using non-traditional materials such as torched metal and rough craquelure.

In recent years, Stefan's approach has shifted from abstraction with bold strokes, earthly colors and unusual figures to works that have a more conceptual content that represent his creative ideas and values. Tactile and pleasing to the eye, the paintings of Stefan Buana are deceptively benign. But don't be lulled by the pastel shades and fine lines as "Stefan is making strong social and political statements" says Michael Vatikiotis - former editor of the Far Eastern Economic Review, in his review for Stefan's solo exhibition at Galeri Nasional, Jakarta in 2008.
