Kira is a limited edition sculpture by Indonesian artist Roby Dwi Antono, embodying his unique fusion of realism and surrealism. With only 75 pieces available, this artwork has become a sought-after collectable for contemporary art enthusiasts. Cast in bronze, Kira is offered in two refined finishes: an elegant black patina and a burnished gold tone. The figure’s soft, expressive features convey a profound sense of nostalgia, heightened by the crystal resin tears that delicately stream down its face. These tears not only enhance the sculpture’s melancholic aura but also create a striking contrast between the solidity of bronze and the fragility of glass—a duality frequently explored in Antono’s work.
The figure’s introspective gaze and serene expression reflect the artist’s fascination with pop surrealism and Renaissance-inspired forms. Antono’s signature aesthetic, which blends classical beauty with dreamlike narratives, infuses Kira with an evocative stillness that invites contemplation. Through Kira, Roby Dwi Antono continues to explore themes of childhood, memory, and vulnerability, offering a poetic meditation on the passage of time. With its limited availability and the artist’s growing international recognition, Kira is not just a sculpture—it is a rare and collectable masterpiece that encapsulates the essence of Antono’s dreamlike universe.
Bio:
Roby Dwi Antono is a contemporary Indonesian artist born in 1990 in Semarang, Indonesia. His work is characterised by a fusion of pop surrealism with references to classical mythology, popular culture, and magical realism. Through his paintings and drawings, Antono creates a visual universe where tenderness and eeriness coexist in a nostalgic and dreamlike aesthetic. From an early age, Antono showed a great inclination toward art, exploring different media and techniques. His interest in illustration led him to develop a unique visual language, influenced by artists such as Mark Ryden and Yoshitomo Nara, whose styles share a similar emotional sensitivity and focus on melancholic characters with large, expressive eyes. Before establishing himself in the contemporary art world, Antono worked as an illustrator, a stage that allowed him to refine his mastery of drawing and composition. Soon, his talent attracted attention within the Indonesian art scene, leading him to exhibit in local galleries. His success in Indonesia marked the beginning of his international recognition, and his works began to be presented in cities such as Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, consolidating him as one of the most prominent emerging figures in Asian art.
Symbolism in his work
One of the most distinctive aspects of Antono’s art is his use of symbolism, with constant references to mythology, childhood, memory, and the duality between the ephemeral and the eternal. His characters are often children or hybrid figures combining human and animal elements, evoking a sense of nostalgia and exploring themes of identity and transformation. The influence of nature is evident in his compositions, with representations of fantastic creatures, exotic flora, and celestial elements, reinforcing the dreamlike and mysterious quality of his works. Colour and texture play a fundamental role in his style. His palette is rich in pastel tones, contrasted with vibrant details that add depth and dynamism to his compositions. His meticulous and detailed technique enables him to create immersive atmospheres, where light and shadow play a crucial role in the visual narrative of his pieces.
Exploring New Media
Although Roby is primarily known for his paintings, he has also explored other media, including sculpture and digital printing. The three-dimensionality of sculpture has allowed him to expand his visual language, giving his characters a physical presence that further highlights their expressiveness. Likewise, his forays into graphic design and illustration have allowed his style to transcend the canvas and reach new audiences. Additionally, the artist has collaborated with design and fashion brands, bringing his aesthetic to other formats and expanding the interaction of his work with contemporary visual culture. This multidisciplinary approach has contributed to his growth within the art market and has established him as a key figure within the pop surrealism movement. The Impact of His Art: The rise of Roby Dwi Antono has coincided with the growing interest in contemporary Asian art, where his work has been well-received by both collectors and critics. His ability to create an emotional connection with the viewer, through images rich in symbolism and emotion, has made him an influential artist in the global art scene. As his career continues to expand, Antono keeps exploring new forms of expression while preserving the essence of his unique visual universe. His work represents a balance between classical and contemporary, fantasy and reality, offering a unique vision of 21st-century art.

Roby Dwi Antono
Roby Dwi Antono (Indonesia) creates paintings that recall the works of Pop Surrealist founder Mark Ryden and iconic Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara. But Antono fuses the aesthetics of Surrealism and Classical Renaissance imagery to create a contemporary juxtaposition that’s all his own. Antono’s paintings usually feature starry-eyed children, mythological creatures and, for kicks, pop culture icons he admires such as Jerry Lorenzo, Tyler, the Creator and Takashi Murakami. No matter the subject, Antono always aims to convey a message within his paintings.
