Meet Rudy Siswanto | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rudy Siswanto and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rudy, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
I guess my standard of happiness is quite low, waking up in the Morning , I can see my wife Smiling, we giggle over our inside jokes , we are walking outside seeing wildlife, finishing one artwork. a lot of simple things makes me happy. Why? There is saying “This too, shall pass” , remembering this make me cherish simple things

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am an Artist mainly work on Digital media, My focus is on drawing fantasy art , if we want to be more specific , my niche is animal based creature. I am always excited with making story telling image, when audience can get my message, and get lost inside my artwork. I start with a humble beginning , graduating from a Graphic design college that focusing on advertising , mostly learning art by myself, in the beginning of my professional career I joined a local illustration studio and doing freelance works on the side. Working long enough in the industry and leveling up my skill slowly, the client list grew and it lead to where I am today professionally.

I think i what is the most challenging factor to me is how little resource we can get to level up my skill in the beginning, I have to rely on a lot of study to improve my fundamental. but my joy in art it self give me motivation to keep going.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love museum and library and also USA is the heaven for art and books , I will take you to visit National history museum , Getty museum, Huntington library, and a lot of beautiful library with their huge resource of illustration books. Beside that I will take you to sunset hunting , a lot of high place around area that you can see beautiful view of sunset

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My Wife Gil , She is my number one support system,the one that never tired to support me . My Mom that support anything I do when I was little, two brothers that kickstart my creative journey , also my fellow artist and friend
