In her work, Erna Pirous’ optimism influences the fluidity of her forms and the brightness of her color palette. Through the dominance of bright hues such as yellow, light blue, purple, and pink, we can witness the various happenings in Erna Pirous’s life. From the natural landscapes she has resided in and visited, her spiritual experience during her visit to the Holy Land, to self-portraits of her children. Her techniques are similar to that which is typical of modern Indonesian artists, who generally embrace abstraction and an intense, non-naturalistic, Fauvist-influenced approach to color. Yet her chromatic sensibility seems to transcend its era. While many modern works tended toward darker tones – deep blues, reds, and browns – to convey strength before juxtaposing them with brighter accents, Erna’s compositions are distinguished by the dominance of luminous color. These are applied to canvas or paper with joy and confidence.
