"FLY LIKE AN EAGLE AND PLAY ON THE CLOUDS"

~ ONAR ~

Who am I?

Onar, this is my real name and I am an Indonesian artist (based inYogyakarta), who sell my original artwork,
and do commissions all over the world.
 
I started my art career selling portrait sketches. I also started painting murals in many institutions, cafes, offices, restaurants, and became a street painter in “titik 0km” Malioboro street, Yogyakarata City Indonesia.
 
After that, I decided to continue to the fine arts education level, at Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta.
 

What I do?

In my work, I always dress my emotions in a beautiful and harmonious way, to reveal the depth of everyday life.

My goal is to give life to colors and shapes.

I like to work with color, in an expressionist style and more often use palette knife with impasto technique, it is a picture of my personality.

And the paintings that are made are not only in one style, there are many styles, sometimes with bright colors, sometimes calm.

I have painted in a variety of styles, and now I focus more on more colorful styles and shades with bubbling paint splashes.

How I do?

I worked really hard. The fact is that every day, from waking up to going to sleep again, my mind just wants to make new works, again and again. You can’t achieve anything great if you sit still all day long waiting for it to happen. This is why I’m here. The fact is I don’t feel like I’m working, I just can’t stop for too long.

I have been painting since 2007 seriously, but with various media and styles, this is a form of my gratitude, by continuing to explore, explore my potential, by continuing to work.

My energy seems to continue burning and I am never satisfied with the best, I am always hungry to make new works. When you buy my artwork you get the whole experience, my art journey, which of course is a lot of challenges and frustrating lol. But it’s a rewarding and enjoyable experience that is worth it.

100% art

I don’t care about rules and conformity, on the contrary I just do what I want to do. Freedom is a very valuable thing.

I don’t use flowery words or go into deep conceptual explanations – I’m just explaining what happened, why I painted it, and what you can gain from looking at it.
