Perjalanan Hati

The same vibrant energy of warmth is reflected in his paintings. The colors have shades of red and brown: passionate and spirited reds, calming and warm browns. I imagine a scarlet twilight sun tumbling down to the horizon. Then I see the dark silhouette of a fisherman standing on top of a floating boat that sways quietly because of the strong sea breeze. Meanwhile, boys are running on the wet, black sand. I see footsteps on the sand and dirt stuck between their toes, darkened skin burned by the sun. Red, orange, yellow, white, maroon, brown, copper, ochre and black; even if there were accents of blue and green in his paintings, consider them as cool coincidences.
