About the artwork

Rujiman's 'Play In Colour' beautifully captures a sense of dynamic harmony with its portrayal of koi fish swimming fluidly around each other. The artist's use of a palette knife and impasto technique not only adds a tactile dimension to the scales and fins of the fish but also imbues the entire composition with a vibrant energy that aligns with the "nature of play" in the artwork. This energetic movement, coupled with the rich and varied background colors, evokes the joy and fluidity of fish in their natural habitat, yet elevated through artistic expression.

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.
