Notes

By knowing the vibration of a brush-stroke in a painting you will see the characters of the maker... the lines on a flower are the brush-strokes too of a maker... Artistic in its greatness, truthful in its simplicity. Free and boundless without excesses aiming to a future for an unknown goal. These lines are different from each other... They are literally the lines of a living great artist...

This is God what I see in the lines of Nature. I don't believe only, I know this existence. Believing only is not enough. You have to know Him positively by going through his power. His existence is not a story. It is Reality.

S. SUDJOJONO QUOTED IN THE ARTIST'S UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPTS, God Is Reality, CIRCA 1980s
