Friski Jayantoro

(1997)

FRISKI JAYANTORO (b. 1997) is an Indonesian artist currently based in Batu, East Java. He holds degrees in Fine Arts Education from Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) and Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). Actively engaged in the East Javanese art scene, Friski is a founding member of the collective Pintu Belakang, initiated in 2019. Working primarily in abstract painting, and occasionally installation, Friski cultivates a visual language marked by minimalism and quiet elegance. Embracing restraint and clarity, his visual language reflects both aesthetic discipline and an introspective disposition. As an introvert, he approaches contemporary art as a space for listening and observing rather than speaking. For Friski, visual art becomes a medium through which he expresses his patterns of thought and contemplates life’s journey. Drawing wisdom from personal and social problematics, he distills these experiences into contemplative compositions that invite viewers to encounter meaning through stillness and attentive reflection.
