“Perempuan sedang merokok (A Woman Smoking)” by Siti Ruliyati (Indonesian) - Oil on canvas / 2005 - Museum Universitas Pelita Harapan (Tangerang, Banten) #WomenInArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #SitiRuliyati #Ruliyati #MuseumUPH #artText #BlueskyArt #IndonesianArtist #WomenPaintingWomen
Painted late in Indonesian artist Siti Ruliyati’s long career, this canvas sits within the shift she made after moving to Jakarta in 1979 to support her family through embroidery and hand-painted goods while also teaching painting to women from many professions and exhibiting with her students. Where her earlier decades often tracked markets, fields, and village life, here she turns her attention to a quieter, middle-to-upper-class interior with coffee, flowers, leisure, and a woman who occupies the frame without apology. She presents an adult woman in crisp profile at a table, her gaze directed away from ours as if focused on something to our right. Her skin is painted in warm peach tones. Auburn curls gather at the back of her head with loose ringlets at the temple. She wears a white, short-sleeved blouse and simple jewelry including a long strand of green beads, a matching bracelet, and small earrings. One hand lifts toward her neck, holding a long cigarette between two fingers as a pale ribbon of smoke drifts away. In front of her, a cup and saucer sit beside a small brown snack. To the right, a vase of bright red, purple, and yellow flowers spills color onto the tabletop. Behind her, broad palm fronds and mottled greenery form a dense backdrop, while a slanted band of light cuts diagonally through the upper corner. The brushwork stays visibly textured, with flattened shapes and confident color blocks that make the room feel both intimate and slightly theatrical. The cigarette can be read less as a vice than as a gesture of autonomy like an outward sign of pause, appetite, and self-possession … especially in a portrait tradition that so often asks women to appear pleasing rather than purposeful. Ruliyati’s angled profile denies easy access to the sitter’s full expression, yet the painted smoke, the alert posture, and the bright floral counterpoint suggest a life in motion with private thoughts, public rules, and the small freedoms negotiated in between.

Untitled (Woman Touching Shoulder) by Basoeki Abdullah (Indonesian) - Pastel on paper / Undated - National Gallery Singapore #WomenInArt #PortraitofaWoman #art #artwork #artText #BasoekiAbdullah #Abdullah #IndonesianArtist #IndonesianArt #beauty #Bluesky #bskyart #pastel #NationalGallerySingapore
Indonesian artist Baseoki Abdullah was born in 1915 in Solo, Java, to the family of well-known Mooi Indie painter Raden Abdullah Suriosubroto. Basoeki followed in his father’s footsteps and eventually earned the title of "the Rembrandt of the East." He received formal training in The Hague and was an art teacher during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies. After World War II, he achieved international fame by winning an art competition held for the coronation of Queen Juliana of Amsterdam in 1948, Basoeki spent much of his later life traveling around the globe to paint stalwart statesmen and attractive women. Beyond the glitz and glamour, Basoeki was deeply driven by a personal desire to evoke the realities of postcolonial movements through his self-described style of "Romantic Realism." This pastel portrait depicts an unidentified young woman, likely of East Asian descent, with dark, curly hair, subtly draped in a pale garment, her gaze directed slightly away from us, creating an air of pensive sensuality. She possesses dark, rich, curly hair in a mid-20th century style that frames her delicately-rendered face. Her soft features are finely detailed: dark averted eyes, a straight nose, and full lips painted a bold red. Her expression is one of quiet contemplation or perhaps subtle allure. She appears young with a smooth complexion light-to-medium skin tone with subtle shading to create depth and dimension. She is partially draped in an off-white, strapless garment loosely arranged around her shoulders and upper chest, leaving her shoulders and upper arms exposed. Her left hand is gently placed on her right shoulder, suggesting a pose of self-awareness or perhaps a hint of vulnerability. The clothing is not sharply defined, but rather softly rendered with pastel strokes that blend seamlessly into the background. Sadly, Abdullah was beaten to death by three assailants during a break-in at his Jakarta home in November 1993 at the age of 78.

Another signatory of the Black December Statement was Hardi, an artist who studied at Akademi Seni Rupa Indonesia in Yogyakarta. (You might have noticed that many of the signatories are from Yogya’s art school. This is a discussion/article for another day.) #contemporaryart #indonesianartist

Soni Irawan’s chaotic, messy art caught the attention of collectors worldwide. With its bold colors and graphic strokes, his works make for great conversation starters and centerpieces. It’s not a surprise that his works are popular. #contemporaryart #indonesianartist

Heri Dono is one of the names that come up when one talks of internationally renowned artists from Indonesia. He received his art education at the Indonesian Institute of Art (Institute Seni Indonesia) in Yogyakarta.
