Suitbertus Sarwoko
Indonesia
B. 1969
Suitbertus Sarwoko is an artist who was as born near the Borobudur Temple—one of the world’s great wonders—in Magelang, Central Java. He studied in the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Yogyakarta from 1989 to 1995.
As a child, Bertus once dreamed of becoming a pilot, but his aspirations shifted when he discovered the highly detailed illustrations of Don Lawrence’s Trigan and Storm characters. Captivated by their precision and storytelling, he began copying and sketching them, marking the start of his lifelong commitment to art.
Growing up beside the world’s largest 9th-century Buddhist temple also deeply influenced his imagination. Bertus visited Borobudur often, studying its reliefs and connecting with his heritage. This personal bond with Borobudur continues to shape the sensibility and depth of his artistic vision.
