About the artwork

Koi fishes swim amidst a sea of colourful dots. Rujiman’s artistic skills are displayed in his choice of vibrant colour polish. He employs colour as both a pigment and an expression, using a distinctively textured surface to evoke a sensational experience. Juxtaposed with the fluid brushstrokes, the rhythm of fish movement is captured through strong visual palpitations. The Koi fishes are not flat, but dynamic, emphasizing the power of sensation.

About the artist

Rujiman was born in 1975 and graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Yogyakarta. He currently stays in Indonesia. Known as the 'Koi Fish painter', Rujiman's abstract oil paintings are heavily impasto-ed, which adds great energy to his subject matter. He transfers the movements, color schemes and implications of Koi fish from his memory onto canvas using a pallet knife, and captures a style that spans abstract to semi-abstract to Impressionism. The artist has shown much cultural achievement as a fish painter and is skilled in connecting aesthetics with Asian philosophy. He is highly recognized in Indonesia and is rapidly gaining popularity for his style.
