BIOGRAPHY

The world of art for Fika Leon is doing what he loves and teaching himself to be sovereign and responsible for what he do. That's where he got to know more about his self-taught process in the art field. Many see, feel, and try to understand works of art from various genres as wide as the universe that will not be written or painted enough.

“We are only trying to proclaim the majesty of the Creator with the aim of conveying the beauty of the universe from an individual perspective. I work seriously by using whatever materials I can, such as: marker, acrylic, enamel, rubber, asphalt/bitumen and black silicone on canvas. And I will continue to develop the process of finding or researching this material. For canvas, I chose raw canvas which I gesso/applied myself, for me it's a matter of personal satisfaction. I do every day like a routine. For me, it's a way to improve my painting skills. The most important thing for me is the process: trying, trying and trying. Results are not a priority, results are effects, I believe God has arranged them. That no matter how good our efforts, God has determined the best for us.”

His work speaks or raises a simple and personal theme, sometimes even without a theme, flows without cause like water, like an abstract painting without a title but lines and colors describe something beautiful and unusual, and form a new object/figure in his mind.
