POPO is a street artist of Jakarta. The beginning of its existence starting from the walls of the silent streets. "Speak Silence", said POPO trying to explain his ideas that had been talking through his work as a diary of personal things that can not be expressed verbally.
POPO use the walls on the side streets of Jakarta as "street art diary of Visual Communication ". Diary records are personal stories or events experienced everyday. Visual communication, is a process of will or purpose to another party by using a medium that is only readable by sight. Street art refers to public spaces that provide places to channel expression with its own language to speak to the wider public again.
Apart from being an artist, POPO also taught as a teacher of Visual Communication at the Institute of Social and Political Sciences (IISIP) Jakarta.
