Jeihan Sukmantoro is celebrated as one of Indonesia’s foremost modern painters, recognised for his figurative works marked by bold outlines and his signature darkened eyes. In Alia, he captures the sitter with simplicity and restraint, allowing quiet emotion to resonate through form and composition. The work reflects Jeihan’s enduring exploration of identity and the inner spirit, making it a poignant example of his evocative portraiture.
