Roby Dwi Antono

Roby Dwi Antono's distinctive large-scale paintings blend Pop Surrealism, Renaissance-inspired imagery, mythology, and contemporary culture into dreamlike visual narratives. Known for luminous palettes and a recurring cast of wide-eyed children, fantastical creatures, and symbolic figures, Antono creates an intriguing and exciting vision for viewers to fall into.

Drawing inspiration from all the usual suspects, ie., childhood memories, folklore, cinema, and personal experiences, his work then becomes an extraordinary and one of a kind vehicle for exploring identity, memory, environmental stewardship, and the complexities of the human condition.

Beyond painting, his practice includes sculpture and printmaking, expanding the imaginative universe that has earned him a strong international following.

Antono lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
