Description This glass painting was a present by artist and friend Butet Kartarejasa. He conceptualized the painting and asked the painter to produce it. The painting portrays the late O’ong Maryono, who was a famous pencak silat master, practicing pencak silat and his wife Lia Sciortino holding a text with ‘jurus’ indications on the movements to follow like in the old times.

It is common for people to commission glass paintings with specific images as presents or decorations
