我是一名居住在雅加達附近的南坦格朗市的印尼人。作為一名自然療法從業者,我對大自然、植物和保護工作有著濃厚的興趣。自小繪畫一直是我的興趣,而且一直加深。我的藥劑學背景讓我接觸到了許多植物插圖,自此我就深深愛上了植物繪畫。在2020年11月,出於對印尼植物藝術家協會成員的植物藝術作品的欣賞,我決定加入這個組織。當時我從未考慮過可以自行創作植物藝術,然而協會成員非常樂於鼓勵我,我從資深成員那裡學到了很多知識,亦感到非常感激。自2021年以來,我一直為協會的展覽和商品創作水彩和色鉛筆作品。自2020年起我亦有為自用客戶創作數碼繪畫作品。

I am Indonesian and live in South Tangerang, a city nearby Jakarta. As a natural healing practitioner, I have great interest in nature, plants and also the conservation. Drawing and painting have always been passions of mine since early childhood, although never at this level before. My studies in pharmacy introduced me to many botanical illustrations, and I have been in love with botanical paintings ever since. In November 2020, I decided to join IDSBA (Indonesian Society for Botanical Artists) purely out of fascination with the botanical artworks its members produced. At that time, I never considered creating botanical art myself. However, I am immensely grateful for the supportive community I have found. From senior members, I have learned extensively. Since 2021, I have been creating watercolour and pencil coloured artworks for IDSBA exhibitions and some merchandises. I also produce some digital paintings for personal uses and stock users online since 2020.

鐵冬青 (Ilex rotunda) 是東亞地區受歡迎的觀賞植物。除觀賞用途外,鐵冬青清涼解毒的特性,使其在傳統醫藥中受到重視,通常被用於沖泡茶飲。有些人也相信鐵冬青象徵著幸運、保護和長壽。

The Kurogane holly (Ilex rotunda) is a popular ornamental plant in East Asia. Beyond its ornamental use, Ilex rotunda is also valued in traditional medicine for its cooling, detoxifying properties, often brewed into teas for health benefits. The Kurogane holly is also a symbol of luck, protection, and longevity for those who believe it.

檀香石斛(Dendrobium anosmum)是一種原產於東南亞蘭花物種,因其
美麗的花朵和甜美的香氣而受歡迎。這種懸垂的附生蘭花可以長達0.9至
3米,具有下垂的莖和長橢圓形的葉子。成熟的莖上葉片會掉落,紫色花朵則以一至三朵為一組生長於其上。
我為2022年新加坡植物園的「東南亞植物博覽」展覽而繪製了這幅畫。
它同時也被列印於新加坡植物園的2024年日曆上。

Dendrobium anosmum, a popular orchid species native to Southeast Asia, is prized for beautiful blooms and pleasant sweet aroma. This dangling epiphytic orchid can grow between 0.9 and 3 m long. It has pendulous stems and oblong to elliptic leaves. The older stems lose their leaves, and small clusters of one to three fragrant, purple flowers develop on these leafless, mature stems.
I painted this for Flora of Southeast Asia, an exhibition at Singapore Botanic Gardens in 2022. This painting is also displayed in Singapore Botanic Gardens’s calendar 2024.

毛刷石斛(Dendrobium secundum)長有向下的唇瓣,可以減少雨水積聚對花朵造成損害。

Dendrobium secundum are commonly known as toothbrush orchids. In natural habitat, this downward arrangement helps orchids prevent water from pilling up in the labellum and reduces the likelihood of puddles of rain which could potentially damage the flowers.
