This painting was done during
Wianta’s Calligraphy period from the mid-1990s into the early 2000s (Wianta,
2011). According to a report by Savitri in the Jakarta Post (2001), it is
believed that Wianta’s influence for his calligraphic artworks were inspired by
a trip to Japan back then. Here his calligraphy covers the entire canvas in an
organised splash of colours, Wianta’s personal style of having a rich texture
being very distinct. Savitri also suggests that Wianta’s calligraphic works are
“virtually an
extension of his previous graphic-toned creations” (2001).
