This present work is an extremely interesting example which demonstrates Hendra's witty manipulation of colours and forms. The brillant hues of blue, green and red are placed against a background of bright yellow, such a bold contrast is simultaneously vigorous and spontaneous. Hendra's instincts for provocative and dramatic colour schemes are grounded on formal strategies to draw visual impact in pursuit of an inner vision of the subject's nature and character.

With the present lot, perhaps for once, is less a concern for Hendra's to celebrate the grand topic of motherhood and feminine beauty against the backdrop of the majestic Nature, neither is this about the accentuation of the Indonesian culture but a mere inter-play of forms and of colours that render the work an immediate sense of modernism.
