Raka Suasto is an Indonesian artist known for his unique blend of traditional and contemporary styles. His artworks often depict scenes from everyday life, using a vibrant colour palette and bold brushstrokes to create dynamic compositions. One of his most recognisable series is the “Kampung” series, which features scenes from rural villages in Indonesia. In these paintings, Suasto captures the bustling energy of village life, with people going about their daily activities set against a backdrop of lush greenery and traditional architecture. The use of bold colours and thick brushstrokes gives these paintings a sense of movement and vitality.
