Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
This is Kampung Baru, in the West part of Sorong City. The image was captured by me in 2011 and then painted in 2016 with "Winton & Newton Oil, one of my favorite oil mediums for painting. This is a quality oil, I suppose, though expensive. This work shows two large islands, Salawati and Bantata, located between the Dampir Bay and the Pacific Ocean. We can see the Raja Ampat Islands here if the weather is clear. The Dampir Bay is a bustling waterway for ships from Indonesia and overseas—all the large or small ships must pass through the only Sagawin Strait. The Batanta and Salawati Islands flank Sagawin Strait itself. Sagawin Strait is popularly known as "The Only Entrance to the Land of Papua."
Sorong is the second-largest city in Papua after Jayapura, the capital of West Papua Province. The city is known as the Oil City, where Nederlands Nieuw-Guinea Petroleum Maatschappij (NNGPM) began to conduct petroleum drilling activities in Sorong in 1935. Sorong is a strategic city because it is the entrance of all ships and aircraft transit to other cities throughout the Land of Papua. Sorong is also known as an industrial city, trade and services, thus opening up opportunities for domestic and foreign investors to invest their capital.
Bahasa Indonesia
Inilah Kampung Baru, yang letaknya di Kota Sorong bagian barat. Gambar ini diabadikan oleh saya pada tahun 2011 dan kemudian dilukis pada tahun 2016 dengan menggunakan cat minyak bermerek "Winton & Newton Oil, salah satu media minyak favorit saya untuk melukis. Ini merupakan cat minyak yang berkualitas, menurut saya, meski mahal. Karya lukis ini memperlihatkan dua pulau besar, Salawati dan Bantata yang terletak di antara Teluk Dampir dan Samudera Pasifik. Dari sini kita bisa melihat Kepulauan Raja Ampat jika cuaca cerah. Teluk Dampir merupakan jalur perairan yang ramai dilalui kapal-kapal baik dari Indonesia maupun luar negeri - baik kapal besar maupun kecil hanya melewati satu-satunya Selat Sagawin. Selat Sagawin sendiri diapit oleh pulau Batanta dan Salawati. Selat Sagawin sanagt populer dengan istilah "Satu-Satunya Pintu Masuk ke Tanah Papua".
Sorong merupakan kota terbesar kedua di Papua setelah Jayapura, ibu kota Provinsi Papua Barat. Kota ini dikenal dengan nama Kota Minyak, dimana Nederlands Nieuw-Guinea Petroleum Maatschappij (NNGPM) mulai melakukan kegiatan pengeboran minyak bumi di Sorong pada tahun 1935. Sorong merupakan kota yang strategis karena merupakan pintu masuk transit seluruh kapal dan pesawat ke kota-kota lain di seluruh Tanah Papua. Sorong juga dikenal sebagai kota industri, perdagangan dan jasa, sehingga membuka peluang bagi investor dalam dan luar negeri untuk menanamkan modalnya.
