Artist Profile

I Dreamt Of A Drone To Become My Own (The persistence and perspective of a twelve year old)

Liro Susanto was born in Hastings, Hawke’s Bay, on June 25th 2012. He is half Indonesian (Javanese), and half New Zealand European.

He has spent the past 3 years being home educated; by his mum Melinda, and his dad Dali, which has encouraged him to develop special skills of his own interests. Liro’s creative mind is always busy, making the most amazing electrical creations and small complex models of various forms.

Liro has an eye for detail, and his quirky nature means he puts in a lot of time and effort to his interests. His talent for art is Inspiring, and he began painting this series of pieces because he decided he wanted to achieve a goal.

This exhibition is the outcome of Liro’s dedication, and it is his first public display. Liro is very proud to have this opportunity, as he should be, and as is everyone who knows him. His colourful personality really shines through in this work.
