World-renowned multidisciplinary artist

This single-minded focus on my passion has defined my life for over 25 years, and I continue to explore and create with a fierce devotion to art.
A world-renowned Indonesian artist whose multimedia art pieces are highly sought after by galleries, art enthusiasts and collectors alike, Rizz AKA RizRizRizz is truly a creative legend.
He’s been creating for more than 20 years, best known for his figurative paintings that feature powerful depictions of female figures, symbols, animals, vases, flowers, wine and poetry in soft colours and rough and wild brush strokes. Rizz’s work offers an intimate look inside his feelings and life experiences, full of drama, trauma, tragedy and comedy, all wrapped up into one satirical art-form.
Rizz’s paintings then come to life in the form of his sculptures – a three-dimensional manifestation of his creativity and traditions. Each piece is timeless yet uniquely complex, provoking curiosity and discussion. It’s no surprise that Rizz has made a big splash in the international art scene, with solo exhibitions held worldwide: from Sydney and New York, to London and Paris.
