Ronald Apriyan creates works that merge imaginative storytelling with a sharp understanding of everyday urban life. Using art as a medium to capture alternative narratives, he blends the quotidian and the fantastical, revealing the intimate psyche of a rapidly changing nation — one that longs for the nostalgia of the past while struggling to adapt to shifting landscapes.

Despite their deeper social commentary, Ronald’s works remain playful, humorous, and tender, often reconnecting viewers with a sense of childlike innocence. His art becomes a kind of reverse bildungsroman, inviting us to return to a state that is unfiltered, curious, and emotionally honest. Suspended between personal history and cultural evolution, his imagery places viewers in a liminal space where memory, imagination, and identity converge into a new, hybrid perspective.
