About the artwork

Complementary colours of varying spectrums come together in this stunning impasto painting to give us an aerial view of happy koi fishes swimming in a body of water. The movements of the fishes are perfectly encapsulated with the strong and smooth brushstrokes, conveying a fluidity not only belonging to the organic animals but also of the water itself. Known as the Koi fish painter, Rujiman has successfully carved a name for himself in the art world due to his dedication to painting this stunning subject matter.

About the artist

Rujiman was born in 1975 and graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Yogyakarta. He currently stays in Indonesia. Known as the 'Koi Fish painter', Rujiman's abstract oil paintings are heavily impasto-ed, which adds great energy to his subject matter. He transfers the movements, color schemes and implications of Koi fish from his memory onto canvas using a pallet knife, and captures a style that spans abstract to semi-abstract to Impressionism. The artist has shown much cultural achievement as a fish painter and is skilled in connecting aesthetics with Asian philosophy. He is highly recognized in Indonesia and is rapidly gaining popularity for his style.
