Afdhal is an emerging Indonesian artist from Padang, West Sumatra, whose work explores the relationship between humans and their environment. His figurative and semi-abstract paintings reflect the interconnectedness of nature, society, and human behavior, emphasizing the cause-and-effect dynamics that shape our lives. Inspired by artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Afdhal addresses complex social and environmental themes through a contemplative, thought-provoking visual language.
