Using her iconic impasto technique Kartika drew this charming landscape of a playground overlooking a city view (KLCC view from Kampung Baru) under the hot scorching sun while surrounded by greeneries. It is like a depiction of a trip down the memory lane of an adult that once was a child who enjoyed playing at the playground. Artist-trained conservationist Kartika Affandi is the subject of a documentary, Kartika Affandi: 9 Ways of Seeing, by Christopher Basile. Since 1977, she has been the curator of the Affandi Museum. She had a stint at the Tagore University in Shantineketan, India, and took up Sculpture at the Polytechnic School of Art in London (1952). She studied mechanical preservation and restoration of art objects at the Austrian Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (1980), and also the International Centre of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property in Rome (1984). She also set up a women's art museum in Yogyakarta.
