My name is Nuradi Noeri, but in the art world I am known as Adi Noeri. My journey as an artist was not shaped in a formal classroom, but through a long road of life, service, and self-discovery. For many years, I served as an Indonesian diplomat in different countries, surrounded by diverse cultures, landscapes, and perspectives. Yet wherever I was, nature remained my quiet refuge. Painting became my way of listening more deeply — to the world, and to myself.

​

I developed my landscape painting skills through structured tutorials purchased from both Michael James Smith and Andrew Tischler. Through their guidance, I learned to go beyond form and color, and to truly understand light, depth, atmosphere, and the emotional silence that lives within a landscape.

​

For wildlife painting, particularly tigers, I studied the techniques of painting fur, texture, and fine detail through Carla Grace’s paid courses. In contrast, my understanding of the tiger’s full form, strength, and presence was shaped by observing Daniel Wilson's free online tutorials.

​

My approach to portrait painting has been deeply influenced by Andrew Tischler, from whom I learned about structure, skin tones, and emotional expression. Meanwhile, the intricate ornaments and decorative elements found in my Balinese dancer paintings reflect the careful observation and textural techniques I developed through Michael James Smith’s teachings.

​

These combined learning experiences, together with my long personal and professional journey, have shaped my own artistic voice — one that seeks to express a peaceful and meaningful connection between humanity, nature, and the quiet presence of the Divine.
