"Being an artist allows me the freedom to express my emotions and ideas. What once began as a hobby became my life. Nothing can ever separate me from painting, unless something even more extraordinary came along, with the power to change my whole life."
"As a little boy, I loved to draw everything that captured my attention. My teachers regarded my drawings as exceptional, compared to other children my age.
"From elementary school until university, I received good grades in Art, and I graduated top of the class from Universitas Negeri, Jakarta.
"That same year I eagerly applied to be an art teacher at a high school in Jakarta. However, after a year of instructing, I realized that teaching was not for me. I resigned, and instead began fulfilling my career as an artist. I also joined a group of artists from Indonesia that specialize in watercolors.”
Since 1994, Kinkin has exhibited throughout Indonesia and Asia, including shows in Jakarta, Depok, and Taiwan.
