Ronald Efendi Simabua
When I paint, I don’t make certain forms, but I try to solve the problems that I find in my daily life. Here I try to let go, break down, ask questions, and form a form of communication with myself.In painting, I chose to explore ideas through my relationship with the medium.
Materials and methods became the dominant driver in my work. I started without predetermined conclusions, but with a simple intention to respond, let the problem become loose, flow and rot itself, I work intuitively and abstractly by not limiting myself. Through developing layers of material, making signs, erasing, overwriting, scratching incised, prying trying to bring up again, producing different effects. The resulting images are often ambiguous, challenging perceptions and building relationships with viewers to find your own definition.
