A joyful journey of Fernando Modesto's eccentric creations

Fernando Modesto, a member of the country's artistic community since the early '70s, is known for his style that is irreverent, whimsical and colorful.

The study of Indonesian culture that Modesto did in Jakarta during the two decades when he and his family were based there, resulted in the formation of his visual sensibility. As a recipient of a scholarship from the British Council, he attended the Central School of Art and Design in London in 1982.
