Face to Peace by Stefan Buana

Stefan Buana’s life advice, “The most beautiful thing in the world is becoming yourself” can be found on his studio wall. This quote is telling of the artist’s character—strong regards to identity, acute emotions, and personal expressions. The way Stefan sees the world may also be found in “Face to Peace”, a series of paintings that intimately explore different facial features with emphasis on textures and lines. Stefan’s faces possess life, distinctive identities and a singular vibrancy. To Stefan, art is a representation of life. It is with this simple notion to explore the intricacies of the world through art that Ode to Art proudly presents the master of subtleties, Stefan Buana.
