Geofanny Tambunan
Geofanny Tambunan is an Indonesian artist originally from Jakarta, now based in Bali, where he found the inspiration he lacked in his hometown. Influenced by Salvador Dali and James Jean, he blends Surrealism and Pop Art in his work. Creating art as an emotional outlet, he defines success by effectively communicating stories through exhibitions and major art fairs. His journey in art has been therapeutic, aiding his recovery from depression. His best-known piece, Melankolia, reflects his feelings of solitude. He resonates with the quote, "Cogito Ergo Sum" ("I think, therefore I am") by René Descartes.
