Age 4 | 2009

Bintang began his artistic exploration with basic doodles and shapes. In other words, his work did not reveal a specific form or interest. This was a result of his young age and his initial exploration of his ability to draw. As such, Bintang’searliest work reflect the doodles of a young child. At the age of four drawing was an activity that relaxed Bintang. If not drawing, he always wished to go outside or be around others. His earliest creations include hundreds of sketches on paper. These sketches include his mother’s notes, intended to narrate and document the story Bintang told about each piece. These papers are still in good condition and properly stored.


 
Bintang masih melakukan sebentuk coretan-coretan dasar, alias belum/tidak dapat membentuk kesan tertentu atau benda apapun. Maklum, masih kecil sekali, hanya bisa menggerakkan tangan. Oleh karena itu, nyaris hanya merupakan coretan dasar seorang anak. Kegiatan menggambar di usia telah terlihat sebagai sarana agar dia lebih santai dan rileks. Jika tidak menggambar ia inginnya keluar rumah atau minta ditemani. Hasilnya ada sekitar seratusan kertas yang berhasil didokumentasikan. dalam sketsa-sketsa ini terdapat tulisan ibunya untuk menandai kala itu Bintang sedang bercerita tentang apa. Kertas-kertas ini masih dalam kondisi yang baik dan terlindungi.
