Just Future — Self Portrait

Acrylic on Canvas · 2001 · Jogjakarta

Just Future self portrait by Danar Gondrong

Painted in the early 2000s, “Just Future” captures the silent question of humanity’s direction. The work is a mirror between the analog past and the digital unknown — a premonition of how human emotion would soon travel through invisible signals.

Danar’s strokes are minimal, yet his composition radiates with coded intent. Each color vibrates like data streams, and each shadow carries the pulse of something not yet invented — the connected world we inhabit today.

“Art is not prediction — it’s intuition that time eventually decodes.”

This piece remains a cornerstone of Danar’s philosophy: that art and technology share one nervous system — emotion.
