An exhibition by Pretty Shinta

Born in Pekanbaru in 1996, Pretty Shinta has had a passion for art since the age of six. The works featured in this exhibition are born from self-contemplation, which is translated into brushstrokes on each canvas. This exhibition invites us all to explore the diverse journey of human life, encouraging self-reflection and a fresh perspective on others, while urging us to rethink the true meaning of life. While the works may appear abstract, they also provoke the mind. "The Silent Journey" conveys a message that the beauty of art is not always found in realistic visuals, but in the deeper meaning behind each piece.

The journey of human life is a gift. With each breath, we experience moments of happiness, pain, and sometimes silence. Some observe the world through underground windows, cold and dark, while others view life as an achievement if they’re granted the opportunity to breathe another day. A person may smile more often but, at the same time, miss the deeper truths of existence. Fundamentally, humans seek peace, not just fleeting happiness. Yet, the world doesn’t always offer comfort. Challenges come and go, but hope remains for those who choose to believe in it.

Each of Pretty Shinta's paintings serves as a contemplative voice, inviting us to understand the meaning of life—an often unheard message amidst the noise of modern living. With every vibrant color, these works aim to support overall mental health. For Pretty, health is no longer just about a cheerful smile; it’s about the untold stories behind the human facade and the journey that each person faces. Let us immerse ourselves in the beauty of "The Silent Journey" and reflect on the powerful message the artist intends to convey.
