Hi my name is Libby, I made this painting to remind everyone that, everyone can be an artist. This piece is called “Kliwon and Olfa”, both of the names you see here are actually my favourite dolls, I always bring them everywhere I go.
I will give you an introduction for my dolls. The snowman doll is called Olfa, he doesn’t have any hands so I just made him paint with his feet like Pak Sadikin; a famous disabled painter in Indonesia, he paints with his feet. The monkey plush is called Kliwon, Kliwon was the first stuffed animal that I own and he is my favourite ever since. I want my paintings to look like Van Gogh and Monet, so I tried to replicate their brush strokes in my own style.
In this painting I want to remind everyone that, you can be anything you want. Even if you don’t have hands, like Olfa and Pak Dikin. Thank you guys I love you all stay happy and positive!!!!
-Love LIBBY
