Living in the Ring of Fire (2024) Original Watercolour by Kus Hendradi Laksono

My country, Indonesia, is located on the ring of fire which has more than 400 volcanoes and 127 of them are active or potentially active. Placing Indonesia as the country with the most active volcanoes in the world (13% of the number of volcanoes in the world). In 1883, Mount Krakatoa even became the volcanic eruption that had the biggest impact on our earth.

This painting is set on Mount Merapi, which is the most active volcano in the world, behind the enormous potential for disaster, there are natural riches and very beautiful natural scenery, making culturally very respectful of local people, even with traditional ceremonies. Small eruptions only make local people awake and alert without disrupting their daily life activities.

Made with watercolor without using white, the color visible in the painting is the color of the paper.
