Born in 1975, Rujiman graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Yogyakarta and currently lives in Indonesia. Known as the ‘Koi Fish painter’, Rujiman’s abstract oil paintings are heavily impasto-ed, which adds great energy to his subject matter. He transfers the movements, colour schemes and implications of Koi fish from memory onto canvas using a pallet knife, which captures a style that spans from abstract to semi-abstract to Impressionism. The artist is skilled in connecting aesthetics with Asian philosophy and showcases much cultural achievement as a fish painter. He is highly recognized in Indonesia and is rapidly gaining popularity for his art style.
