The Souls

Heru “Japra” Pramono, The Souls, 2022, Acrylic on Canvas, 50 x 70 cm, artist’s collection.

This painting shows a traditional Betawi dance. In the centre is the “Samba” mask, the normal soul of the person. To the left is the “Panji” mask, the better, holy side of influence. To the right is the “Jingga” mask, representing what must be balanced, the darker emotions such as anger.
