Duality
The artwork "Dualitas" (Duality) is inspired by a verse from the Durma song, which states that right and wrong, good and bad, and gain and loss depend on perspective. Like snake venom, which can serve as either an antidote or a poison, everything depends on its use in the given situation. In an era of rapid information flow, judgments are often freely expressed on social media, represented by the medallion behind the central figure. The snake head relief symbolizes temptation, threats, and challenges that exist in every era, always ready to strike at any moment.
Galang Aji Pratama
My name is Galang Aji Pratama and I am an artist from Banyuwangi, East Java, inspired by its rich traditions and culture. Influenced by Basuki Abdullah and Liu Yuan Shou, my work combines naturalistic themes with expressive brushstrokes. My art explores human connections, nature, and spirituality, rooted in Javanese iconography and cultural philosophy. I aspire to create meaningful works, inspire others, and host a multi-generational exhibition in my hometown.
