Reza's expressive animal paintings Featured

When the Indonesian artist Luqman Reza Mulyono was little boy, he lived in the countryside in a modest little family. His parents did not have enough money to buy him fancy toys. As a compensation, his mother gave him a drawing book and a set of markers.

Thus began is colourful journey of painiting.

For Mulyono a piece of paper is a playground that could be filled with anything.

"I have the freedom to build my imagination and I know from the very beginning that I have found my joy of life. Since I was in the kindergarten till the high school, I continued to harness my skill autodidactically. I was challenged to use various mediums, such as spidols, pencils, crayons, and oil. Until one day I discovered the watercolor paint which has specific difficulty on its own that caught my heart," he says.

For Mulyono, nature provides unfathomable inspirations. The living of creatures and animals in the wild never fail to excite him the most.

" I fall in love facilely for beautiful things. I’m quickly shed tears when I read a sad novel or watch sorrowful event in real life or even a fiction. Those things motivate me to create watercolor paintings that contain stories about life in the manner of metaphors. So I turn an ordinary animal picture into imaginative illustration, " he says.
