Indonesian paintings are unique and offer different experiences in enjoying and appreciating. Click here to visit our gallery of good Indonesian paintings. The oil painting by a senior artist from Yogyakarta, Wasis Subroto, shown below is an excellent example of our collection of good Indonesian paintings. He has a unique method and style in his paintings, the one he had pursuit for years. That was why the judges at the Philip Morris Award 2002, one of the most prestigious awards for painting artists in Asia, decided that Wasis deserved an honorable prize. His works have been collected by many upper-level collectors in Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia.
A beginner painting collector from Yogyakarta, Indonesia, for example, bought an Indonesian painting for only Rp 3,500,000 (about US$ 400.00) in 2006. About one year later, he managed to sell it for Rp 15,000,000 (abut US$ 1,700.00), pocketing over 400 per cent of profit! What he purchased was a painting of good quality by a rising artist. Another true story. A painting trader who also is a collector, purchased an oil painting from a friend who was desperately in need of money. Only 3 months later, a buyer stopped by and became very interested with the painting. He asked if he could trade his brand new car (worth about Rp 120 million) with the painting. It was obviously an offer that was hard to resist. So they made the deal. I know it's hard to believe but it actually happened. Choosing a good potential paintings really takes many complex factors, such as the artist's reputation, people's prediction on his/her future, the quality of his works, style uniqueness, and many others. Sometimes, unexplained instinct also plays important role in choosing paintings. Luck factor, last but not least, may also interfere.
Buy a painting that your heart would admire even when there is no one around (never pretend that you like a painting only because many people do). Buy a painting that can help you sooth your weary mind, giving a peaceful state of mind, and make you really thank to God for what you are. Have a good enjoyment to our paintings.
