"My
batik-painting looks `unbatik'. Usually batik paintings have clear, bold outlines
and `cracklings'."
|
| |
|
| "But
mine's `boneless' and fine-textured. My paintings are gently graduated with tones
of light and shade, with figures defined against their glowing backgrounds by
a difference of light rather than line."

| | "I
have a dream - I wanted to be an artist who creates something unique and travels
abroad", he reveals. Today, his dream is realised. His works are exhibited
in Europe, America, Australia and Indonesia. `Mother and Child', one of his earlier
works, hangs on the walls of UNESCO in New York.

| | "I
feel I can understand the poor better for I too was poor like them - I may not
be able to write about their plight but I can draw and portray their hard lives."

"The
texture is important. Some batik artists achieve their textures by cracking the
wax before applying the dye, so that the dye penetrates the area excluded by the
wax in broken lines. I used to do that, but with very fine cracks, carefully controlled.
But I stopped it several years ago - there are better ways."
