Harman
"My name is Harman and I was born in Java on May 2, 1971. Since I was a child I loved art very much. I had a dream of becoming a professional painter so I tried hard to learn painting. I studied at SMSR Yogyakarta in 1987-1991, and at ISI (Indonesian School of Art), I took the program of Interior Design until I graduated in 1996. Besides learning painting in a formal way, I also studied with a senior painter, Dulah. <br><br>
"Many people, including my family, considered painting is not a good profession, relating to economic aspect. But I have faith in my way of life and will exist and be consistent in making paintings. I have received second prize in the Universal Painting competition in Yoyga, Central Java in 1989, and second place in creating political caricatures at IAIN Yogya, Central Java in 1990. I also won third place award in sketching gravity at Gramedia Jakarta in 1997. In 1988, I moved to Bali, known as the center of the world of art. Balinese social life and culture inspire me greatly." <br><br>
Since 1988, Harman has participated in numerous collective exhibitions throughout Bali and Java as well as in Kyoto, Japan, in 1989.
