Layers of blue, orange, brown, grey, yellow, black, red and grey acrylics come alive in this dynamic abstract painting by Pramono Hadi. The Javanese artist explains the inspiration behind it: “A long time ago, children used to sit and watch the train pass at Prambanan Station, accompanied by their parents. For the kids, it was a fun thing to do in the evening. As for the parents, the passing trains reminded them of their loved ones who lived somewhere else and couldn’t afford to come back home. This artwork is an homage to anyone who is missing their loved ones living in a different city or country.” A captivating expression of modern artistry, this vibrant composition is sure to stand out in any setting.
