Indonesian Artist Creates Some Of The Most Whimsical Disney Fan Art We've Ever Seen (22 Pictures)

by Elana

Hailing from Malang, Indonesia, visual artist Papang Jakfar is a huge fan of Disney. Because he is influenced by Disney, Batik, and Wayang, he describes his style as "cartoony, detail, and decorative."

Papang said that majoring in Visual Communication Design at the State University of Malang helped sharpen his "sense of design," and then it was in 2007 that his freelance work kicked off. As a part of his freelance work, he specialized in "character design for games and animation, publishing illustration, and comics."

Papang says:

"My goal in creating art is simple: to makes other smile when seeing my arts."

Now nearly 15 years of practice and work, Papang is able to offer a diverse portfolio of colorful and whimsical artwork. Of course, as diehard Disney fans, we found ourselves adoring his Disney-inspired pieces of artwork and we knew other Disney fans would be just as enamored!

These 22 examples of Papang's Disney fan art are merely a glimpse at 15 years of artwork so if you find yourself gushing over the brilliant colors and personality shining through, you can check him out on social media and show your support for years to come:

According to LumenLearning.com:

"Indonesian painting has been shaped by a myriad of cultural influences, including Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and colonial forces."

Prior to the 19th Century, Indonesian art was "mostly restricted to the decorative arts, considered to be a religious and spiritual activity," but "under the influence of the Dutch colonial power, a trend toward Western-style painting emerged in the 19th century."

According to Modern Edition, that, for Indonesians, "freedom of artistic expression is relatively recent, the result of fledgling democratization in 1998 after decades of repression by General Suharto's military regime." They also say that, "contemporary art from Indonesia retains a surprisingly strong sense of local identity, consistently referencing a wealth of established visual and cultural tradition."

Papang attended the State Universit of Malang, which is a non-profit public higher education institution located in the urban setting of the large city of Malang, East Java.
