Purwadi

Purwadi original paintings

Purwadi was born in central Java on November 16, 1960. He learned to paint at a very young age, along with many kids from his village. He went to university and soon realized that painting meant too much for him to be left as a hobby, so he dropped out of his course to become fully dedicated to his art. This was not an easy decision to make, as Purwadi met a lot of opposition from family and friends - they did not think he would be able to make a living out of painting.
