"Ijen" is a fine art print created from a photograph of my painting shown at my first solo exhibition "Flashbacks". The work is based on a personal experience during a night ascent of the Ijen volcano on Java, Indonesia.

The climb was physically demanding and took place in darkness. Step by step, the landscape slowly revealed itself. When the sun began to rise, the view opened in a powerful and unforgettable way. The colors, the scale of the space, and the feeling of silence after effort left a deep and lasting impression on me.

This moment became a metaphor for a personal journey. The work reflects the idea that meaningful results often require patience, effort, and the courage to move forward without seeing the full picture. The calm surface and layered structure of the composition contrast with the memory of physical difficulty, creating a balance between struggle and clarity.
