| Biography | |
Born July 24, 1973, in Bondowoso, a small village in East Java, Indonesia. Most of the people living there are Madura people, one of Indonesia's most traditional cultures. He spent most of his childhood learning about traditional arts and music, watching Madura Topeng Dance, a mask dance with a lot of artistic work on decoration, masks and clothing. This way of artistic expression was of high interest for him and his art experiences started these times.
He's a self-educated person who learned from colors, shapes and compositions in his environment with a watchful eye for the details and something unique. As his origin is Madura, the traditional art from this Indonesian area and their longtime culture are the biggest influences on his paintings. Colors are very important and the guiding concept.
His actural work comprises acrylic on canvas only. A long time age he drew using charcoal but a few years ago he changed to acrylic to get a much more expressive color impact on his contemporary art. The impressive color intensity of acrylic illustrates his ideas in a very vivid way.
Santoso's motivation to paint are satisfaction and happiness, so painting itself is a motivation for him. His passion, mood and expressive power bring energy and ideas into his paintings. Often, great music is part of the emotional impact on his work.
