Rustamadji (1932-1990) Portrait Of An Indonesian Balinese Woman 1965 Indonesian Painter

This sensitive and intimate portrait represents a young Indonesian woman, probably a half-naked balianise, with bare shoulders and her head covered by a clear turban. The artist delicately captures the natural beauty of the model: the complexion is treated with subtlety, the gaze is serene, and the lines of the face are imbued with softness.

Rustamadji is a painter active in Indonesia in the 20th century. His work is poorly documented in Western sources, but similar portraits occasionally appear on the Asian art market.
Representing a realistic and naturalistic painting, Rustamadji captures the Indonesian daily life: market scenes, landscapes, local figures, Balinese dancers, with particular attention to light and details.

He is a member of the Sanggar Pelukis Rakyat, a workshop of progressive artists founded by Hendra Gunawan and influenced by S. Sudjojono, Affandi and other figures of post-colonial Indonesian realism.
Recognized by national institutions and figures, he remains a major figure in Indonesian art of the second half of the 20th century.
