Antonius : "My works are mosaics of art and culture from my country, which is a variety of arts, cultures and languages, is a synthesis between east and west. Which is my art education background in Germany, at FH-Cologne Art Academy, majoring in glass paintings and textile art-tapestry, therefore my works is a synthesis of mosaic and textile art. A particular theme in my work is people, from the past until now, with various technique in my works. I use mixed medium, acrylic colors, collages such as jute, rope, modeling paste and transparent paper." This artwork shows a turning point of Antonius' creation where traditional or cultural images no longer make direct appearance but give way to more abstract expressions, while maintaining his complex and chaotic composition with the "eyes" still scattered in a minimized appearance. From then on Antonius's creation entered a new phase with more contemporary expressions.
