High Artist Spotlight: Rizal Kuzma

Rizal Kuzma is a young artist from Indonesia. He loved to draw since childhood. He started to decide to study drawing as a profession since 2018, starting by becoming a freelance visual artist while pursuing a bachelor degree of art education in fine arts. In the end he really found his feelings in the world of visual art. Making works for himself is a record of his life's journey. And he decided to add plant elements to each of his artworks. It is a representation of his family. Whose whole life is supported by nature, because his parents are rice, peanut and corn farmers. That is the reason he gives a touch of plants in his work. As a form of gratitude to nature and as a medium to always remember family.
