Born from the union of craftsmanship and imagination, this collection draws its essence from the art of pottery—where earth, hand, and intention converge to form vessels of meaning. Like a potter shaping clay, each piece invites its wearer to become the artist: to mold, to personalize, and to reflect a story that is uniquely theirs.
Born and raised in Jakarta, Popomangun is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose works are heavily inspired by ethnic patterns, Memphis-style aesthetics, and vivid psychedelic color palettes creating a distinct and recognizable visual identity.
With a background in journalism, research, storytelling, and narrative-building play a vital role in shaping his visual creations. For him, a strong artistic character is always accompanied by a compelling story.
Popomangun’s artworks often hold mysterious meanings, conveyed through the objects he illustrates. The colors and patterns in his work are hybridized into layered illustrations, offering multiple interpretations depending on the viewer’s perspective.
In his creative output, Popomangun frequently explores various formats from merchandise, art installations, and canvas paintings to interactive art driven by the belief that art, especially visual art, must carry a captivating presence and a strong narrative to connect with a wider audience.
