About the artist
Garis Edelweiss is a visual artist from the coastal city of Pasuruan, Indonesia. By choosing an anti-gravity style reminiscent of surrealism, Garis explore themes of environmental existence, the relationship between dreams and the living reality, all intertwined with elements of living creatures in their surroundings. Utilizing both manual and digital techniques, he consistently prioritizes intricate details of objects, such as feathers, hair, pores, and other fine strokes. His artistic vision has been greatly influenced by their late father, a local cultural advocate actively promoting the acculturation of coastal cultures, shaping Garis Edelweiss’s unique perspective in each of his works.
Garis Edelweiss is the 1st Prize Winner of the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, iCanvas Digital Art Award 2023.
Artwork Themes & Subject Matter
The art of Garis Edelweiss is a highly personal and intimate manifestation of his observations of the surrounding world. The overarching theme in his works encompasses the harmony between nature and humanity, evident in the exploration of objects in close proximity. Garis embraces the beauty found in small details, such as wildflowers growing nearby, wild plants adorning the land of his residence, and even the birds soaring above their home, depicting a harmonious interaction between nature and human life.
However, beyond mere physical representation, these works bring forth a profound imaginative dimension. Garis creates art by manipulating the reality he witnesses, crafting stories and deep dreams. He invites his audience to share in his creative experience, allowing them to see the world through his rich imagination. Thus, his art becomes a spiritual journey that combines sensitivity to nature, imaginative exploration, and the relationship between humans and the environment.
