The Journey Of Mbah Lan

$2,500.00

Mbah Lan is a 74-year-old painter who, for me, is a teacher and an inspiration for work & life. He is a self-taught painter in a village in Kudus, where I was born. Mbah Lan did not receive formal fine arts education. In fact, she only graduated from elementary school. However, art science outperforms academic artists in terms of technique and philosophy. His natural talent and intellect are clear and can inspire young artists, especially when chatting with him. Mbah Lan is not an ordinary painter. In daily life, he applies natural spiritual principles that are simple but meaningful. His clarity of heart and sharp intellect at an old age inspire my work. Honest, sincere, and unpretentious are life's principles: stay healthy and always be productive. A peaceful blue aura shines over his body, and black hair shining purplish becomes a symbol of intellect amid today's chaotic world.
