“Three art masterpieces adorn InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah’s beautiful lobby. The gold-coloured ‘Kasmaran Statue’ enchants us with its romantic warmth, while the two larger-than-life paintings by Haryanto ‘Bletuk’ Gunawan, ‘Stand by Me’ and ‘Red Roses’, shower us with vibrant energy through their bold and electric colours. Each one is a profound celebration of love. ‘Stand by Me’ illustrates the importance of love in our life. I am mesmerised by the painting’s masterful explosion of colours, in particular, the shades of blue,” writes Rinaldy Yunardi in his love letter for InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah’s Royale Hamper treasure chest which contains his iconic One Heart, One Love jewellery piece.
