Dear everybody, this is my third time visiting Beppu and this is my 3rd art awards of Beppu Biennale. I feel that no one else has experience like me.
Three times I join in very honored art exhibition, 3 times enjoying and enriching myself with selected and glorious artworks,??3 times I met many different artists involved in, and it means that I get more friends, 3 times I met Beppu Art Museum people, Believe or not, I feel that I was a part of your family.
Many of Indonesian artists interested and very appreciate to your biennale, with your qualified art works selection winners. They ask me for many things regarding the biennale, as if I was a part of museum, my article and presentation about biennale widely appreciated by artist and art writer in Indonesia, and this has been encouraging younger artists to take part, and dream to stay in your exotic beautiful Jigoku City of Beppu.
Last but not least I love Beppu and she calls me to come 3 times.
