Description
In Light Arising, Indonesian artist Jono Sugiartono explores the first emergence of presence from silence—the moment when light begins to form within darkness and being appears from nothingness.
A luminous passage of yellow, cream and soft ivory opens across the composition, surrounded by layered fields of burgundy, deep green, turquoise, blue-grey and muted rose. The light does not simply illuminate the surface: it appears to gather gradually from within the painting, creating a quiet yet powerful sense of revelation.
Fine pale lines travel across the canvas, curving between rounded forms, mineral textures and atmospheric colour fields. These delicate trajectories guide the eye towards the luminous centre while connecting the different areas of the composition. Darker passages provide depth and contrast, making the emerging light appear increasingly intense.
Ochre and gold-toned accents introduce warmth across the surface, while descending drips and irregular material formations preserve the physical energy of the creative process. Dense, tactile passages coexist with softer transitions, establishing a balance between matter and atmosphere, movement and stillness, shadow and illumination.
The incorporation of glass dust gives the surface a distinctive mineral presence. According to the direction and intensity of the surrounding light, fine particles capture subtle highlights and reveal changing details. The artwork therefore develops a living visual relationship with its environment and offers a different experience when viewed from various distances and angles.
Rather than presenting light as an immediate explosion, Jono Sugiartono depicts it as something forming patiently—soft, gradual and nevertheless certain. The work evokes the fragile instant when silence becomes presence and an undefined space begins to acquire energy, direction and meaning.
The artist describes this moment as the meeting of nothingness and being: a pure light becoming gently present and bringing calm to the soul.
Light Arising belongs to the artist’s Presence 5 — Being and Nothingness series, a body of work examining the relationship between matter, consciousness, silence, transformation and the origins of existence.
Technique and materials
The artwork was created with glass dust and acrylic on canvas.
Jono Sugiartono constructs the composition through successive layers of colour, translucent passages, textured deposits, fluid marks, fine linear movements and mineral material. The glass particles are fully integrated into the painted surface and contribute to its tactile depth and changing luminosity.
Every element was applied by hand. The material variations, irregularities and subtle reliefs are intentional characteristics of the original artwork and form an essential part of its identity.

About the artist
Jono Sugiartono, born in 1968 in Ciamis, West Java, is an Indonesian contemporary artist whose practice explores the relationship between matter, memory, nature and human civilisation.
Trained at Bandung Fine Arts Teachers’ College, he has developed a distinctive material language through several decades of artistic research. His works incorporate acrylic, oil, volcanic stone, crushed seashells, glass and natural organic fibres. These materials are accumulated in successive layers, creating surfaces that carry both physical texture and symbolic meaning.
His artistic vision is deeply connected to the Sundanese philosophy of Silih Asah, Silih Asih, Silih Asuh—to refine, to love and to nurture. Within his work, cracks, mineral formations and luminous passages become metaphors for transformation, resilience and the value created through lived experience.
A recurring influence is the Mega Mendung cloud motif associated with Cirebon. Jono Sugiartono transforms its historical movement and cultural symbolism into a contemporary visual language of flowing lines, atmospheric formations and interconnected fields.
Founder of Galeri Nusantara Jakarta, active from 1995 to 2015, he has exhibited in Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar. He has also created monumental works for historical sites and luxury hospitality projects throughout the Indonesian archipelago.
Jono Sugiartono was selected among the Top 10 finalists of the UOB Painting of the Year 2023 and received the Aeternum Gold distinction from Spanish curator Antonio Pedro. His works are represented in private and institutional collections, including the Indonesian Ministry of Culture.
He is represented internationally by Abstract Art Gallery, Riga.
