Words of mine:

“I have been consciously searching for some principles in my artistic life.
The search has been among abstract issues manifesting themselves
as spontaneous symbols resulting from the mind so severely repressed by automatism.
They generally bring forth the language of the body by reflex, as I have myself experienced it.”

My aim is to record my thoughts and to express my feelings,
through a continual process of change and development,
searching for form and identity."

- J. Djenar

Grey Winter
acrylic, paper on canvas, 24x24 - '07

White Flag
(for Sindhu Jaya)
Acrylic, paper on canvas, 24x24 - '07

Grey Winter
this year
grey as my hair
gery as my fear
grey as my hope
grey is everyday
Cold as winter in grey
as everyday

White Flag
winking flag
no colour but it's white
need no aircraft train bus or boat
need no money to go
just raise your white flag
up to the unended sky
He will send His Angels
for companion
to see Him
in His Kingdom.
When time has come...
white flag be with you

for : Sindhu Jaya,
So long my friend...
Your time has come
You must leave
You've been granted
to see Him.
Forever...
