<br />
My name is Jono Sugiartono, an artist from Indonesia. I work in a realistic and expressionist style, focusing on themes of daily life, rural landscapes, and rich local culture. My main inspiration comes from Indonesia’s natural beauty and the wisdom of its people. I have been creating art for many years, and I wish to introduce Indonesian artworks to collectors worldwide through this platform. For me, art is a way to tell stories and preserve cultural values through colors and brushstrokes.<br />
