Susanti Slamet: "Stop Pap! Stop! Don't hit Mom again..!!!
Susanti couldn't bear to see her Pap beat her Mom every day for no apparent reason. Susanti ran out towards the edge of the Singapore River and cried, screaming to her male friends, Daren Cheng.
Susanti Slamet: "Daren...!!! Daren...!! Where are you?"
It didn't take long for Daren to show up, because this place was a place for 2 friends to confide in as well as schoolmates and neighbors.
Daren Cheng : "Susanti, why are you crying?"
Susanti: "My Pap... My Pap.."
Suddenly Susanti's hand was pulled by a dashing and cruel figure while dragging her away in the opposite direction from where Daren was standing.
Pap: "We're going home now!! We're going home.. Now!!! "
Susanti moves away from Daren, Daren tries to reach Susanti's hand, who keeps screaming and crying to lose Daren...(this scene is in slow motion)
At the moment..
It seems that for 20 years Susanti and her family have returned to their home country. After finally Susanti ventured to come back to Singapore after her childhood trauma..
(on that painting Susanti Slamet bottom left, Daren Cheng on the right of Susanti) Daren Cheng : "Hi beautiful, thanks for coming"
Susanti: "What do you think is it? All your chats tease me."
While leaning against the railing of the Singapore River Daren continued.
Daren Cheng: "But you like it and enjoyed, do you?"
Susanti Slamet: "I do ."

Artist Name: Nana Tedja
I was born in Yogyakarta in 1971 to a Javanese aristocratic family. Growing up, I had a lot of strict rules and don’t fit in naturally. I want to be myself – Be a free woman. And that translates into my painting. It wasn’t easy being a female artist, as my family was opposed to the idea. I struggled and thrived to achieve all my accomplishments today.
In my works, I use the technique of layering paint multiple times, so that there will be a lot of colours and layers. You will see thick texture because there are 4 to 8 color layers.
I enjoyed experimenting with colours, ignoring “Nirmana”, the rule of combing colors when I studied art at Indonesia Institute of Art Yogyakarta (ISI) Postgraduate Program, Fine Art Department. I combined different colours – blue with yellow,
green with orange, and even the forbidden colour pairing, combining green with blue, arranging them side by side.
I derived immense happiness, seeing the colours and shapes of objects coming together in my paintings.
I honed my skills at the tender age of 5 and strived for improvement. I paint using a palette knife, roller, brush, small paint tube to make lines, and many other traditional tools. I also enjoy making sculptures from resin and bronze. I don’t
care about others’ opinions about my work… yet I find great satisfaction and happiness when others find joy in my works.
In the future, I will keep on doing fine art and develop it according to my mood. I regularly participated in painting exhibitions with several galleries since 1996, both in groups and solo. In addition to selling my work domestically, I also sell my work to several countries in Europe, the US, Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia. I often try to leave messages about many things in my work.
