We’re obsessed with Rizz — a renowned painter, sculptor and ceramist whose work is exhibited in galleries around Europe, Indonesia and the USA.
Rizz’s figurative paintings reflect his memories, often evoking feelings of nostalgia. Through depictions of female figures, symbols, animals, vases, flowers, poetry and various objects in soft colours and rough and wild brush strokes, his wall decor offers an intimate look inside his feelings and life experiences full of drama, trauma, tragedy and comedy.
Rizz’s sculpture exhibits figures residing in his paintings — representing a 3D manifestation of the many forms of his passion and formal instincts as an artist, which has become the baseline for his creative thought process that is inspired by tradition yet revolted against their ideal forms.
