A women walks passing the Independence Day and covid-19 theme mural painted by Bambang and his friends on the street wall near the Bambang's street paint studio during the celebration of Indonesia's 75th Independence Day in Jakarta, Indonesia on August 17, 2020. Bambang Tridoyo (63), street painting artist. He started his career since 1975. As an admirer of Indonesia's founding Father, Sukarno, many of Bambang's works are inspired by stories and hero figures. Not only selling his paintings, he also accepts portrait painting services for his customers. The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit Indonesia since the end of February 2020 has had a significant impact on its income, especially since the government implemented large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) that limit the movement of people out of their homes. their home includes traveling. This has a significant impact on tourist visits, especially in the Kota Tua area, Jakarta, where Bambang's street painting studio is located. The lack of tourists has resulted in a decline in painting sales and demand for painting services. Until June 2020, the government began implementing the PSBB transition to the New Normal phase, which allowed the community to return to their activities, and the industry could resume operations, as well as reopen a number of tourist attractions, with the implementation of strict health protocols. This is like a breath of fresh air for the community, especially business people, to re-run the economy which has been stalled for almost 3 months, including Pak Bambang with his painting business. And on the 75th anniversary of Indonesia's independence on August 17, he hoped that the Corona virus would soon disappear, and things would return to normal, because he believed that Indonesia was inhabited by tough people. "The point is to remain optimistic, and I believe we can all get through it. The most important thing in life is to make yourself comfortable and pleasant in every condition, no matter how.
