Mochtar Sarman

(b. 1970, Indonesian)

Mochtar Sarman received his Industrial Design degree from Pasadena Art Center College of Design and worked in Disney for more than 21 years.

His trademark industrial strokes and the selection of animated and popular icons as a subject of his work derives from his professional design background. His use of bold colors, simple message, and often playful composition invite us to celebrate our childhood fantasy and pleasant memories.

Mochtar is recognized as an artist who breaks the mold of traditional art techniques, transcending to more futuristic approaches in art. He is known to be the first artist in Indonesia to apply the Chomadepth method in his paintings, which evokes an element of surprise to his works. Mochtar’s works are not limited to 2D surfaces but also on 3D objects such as sculptures, packaging boxes, sneakers, and mobile phones. He also experiments and applies Augmented Reality technology on some of his paintings, which again, made him the first artist in Indonesia to explore such technology. He combines his futuristic style with the depth of space and the motion in his works.
