Description
The courage to move beyond the familiar.
In The Current of Becoming, two ascending birds become the focus of a painting about liberation and transformation. Irfan Setia places their flight within a vibrant interplay of violet, yellow and blue, using expressive acrylic brushwork to convey the rhythm of wings and the energy of departure.
On the left, repeating archways form an imagined gateway. Their succession introduces the idea of a threshold: a passage between tangible reality and an unconstrained realm of imagination. The architecture gives the journey a point of reference, while the birds carry its movement beyond the familiar.
The relationship between these elements gives the work its emotional direction. The archways evoke transition; the birds suggest the courage required to embrace it. Their ascent becomes a reflection on releasing the past and allowing new possibilities to emerge.
Colour sustains this sense of movement. Violet passages meet radiant yellow accents and calmer expanses of blue, creating exchanges between intensity and openness. The brushstrokes participate in the subject, carrying the viewer through the composition with the same restless energy as the birds.
Setia's title presents transformation as an ongoing current. Becoming is something experienced through movement: a willingness to leave, to imagine and to continue towards an unknown horizon.
Combining recognisable imagery with expressive painting, The Current of Becoming offers a hopeful meditation on freedom and the possibilities that unfold when we dare to cross a threshold.

Presentation
Irfan Setia (born in 1981) is an Indonesian painter whose work explores the relationship between freedom, resilience and cultural roots. Based in Ciamis, West Java, he graduated in painting from STISI Bandung in 2005 and combines his studio practice with his role as a fine arts educator at MAN 2 Ciamis.
The Kapinis bird is central to his artistic language. In flight, it becomes a symbol of determination: a presence that crosses changing environments without losing its connection to home. This imagery reflects his attachment to Galuh Ciamis and to the Sundanese values of mutual learning, affection and care.
Setia paints birds within vibrant fields of acrylic colour, intersecting lines and geometric structures. Sweeping gestures suggest speed, while arches and angular forms establish a contrasting sense of order. Yellow, blue and earthy tones give his compositions warmth and intensity, allowing the eye to move between the animal figure and the surrounding abstraction.
His paintings offer several paths of discovery. From a distance, the movement of wings creates an immediate focal point; closer inspection reveals layered brushwork, shifting colour and the interplay of lines. His diptychs explore these relationships across two connected surfaces.
His career includes exhibitions in Bandung and Ciamis, participation in the West Java Biennale, and public mural projects. Teaching and painting form complementary parts of a practice guided by exploration and the transmission of artistic knowledge.
Presented by Abstract Art Gallery, Riga, Irfan Setia invites viewers to consider flight as a meeting of courage, purpose and belonging.
