About the artwork
"Love and Lotus" by Rujiman beautifully intertwines the symbolism of love and spiritual growth. Set against a radiant gold background, nine koi fish form a heart-shaped pattern, their graceful movements embodying the harmony and resilience found in love. At the center, a delicate lotus blooms, representing purity and enlightenment. The golden backdrop infuses the scene with warmth and prosperity, creating a serene atmosphere of devotion, connection, and renewal.
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.
