Roby Dwi Antono — Telinga
Roby Dwi Antono

Telinga

2018

A hauntingly ethereal figure rendered in Roby Dwi Antono's signature surrealist style, featuring a pale, otherworldly subject with oversized, luminous eyes that evoke a sense of dreamlike innocence and quiet melancholy. The title "Telinga," meaning "ear" in Indonesian, hints at themes of listening, perception, and inner awareness, woven subtly into the composition's delicate symbolism. Antono's meticulous oil technique brings a smooth, almost porcelain quality to the surface, blending pop-surrealist influences with deeply personal Indonesian cultural undertones.
