About Him

Raiden Vale was born on February 20, 2000 in Osaka, Japan, to a family with deep roots in business. However, his early life was far from typical. When he was just five years old, his father, a successful entrepreneur, relocated the family to Jakarta, Indonesia, to manage a burgeoning company. As the only child, Raiden found himself straddling two very different worlds—one defined by the structured, disciplined culture of Japan and the other by the vibrant, unpredictable energy of Indonesia.

Academics never came easily to Raiden. School was a struggle, and while his peers excelled in their studies, he always felt out of place in a classroom. What captivated him instead was the world of art. From a young age, Raiden developed a deep love for painting. His creativity allowed him to escape the pressure of academic life and the weight of his family's expectations. He would often spend hours with a brush in his hand, capturing the colorful scenes around him—be it the lush landscapes of Indonesia or the subtle beauty of his Japanese heritage. His paintings were his refuge, a language he could speak when words failed.

However, despite his passion for art, Raiden had a sense of duty. As his father’s business grew, it became clear that Raiden was expected to step in and eventually take over the company. He became deeply involved in managing operations, overseeing deals, and making important decisions. Though the corporate world was far from what he imagined for himself, Raiden embraced the responsibility, knowing it was his legacy. But he never let go of his love for painting, using it as a creative outlet and a way to stay grounded.

Raiden’s life wasn’t just defined by work and art—it was also shaped by his deep bond with Mona, his dog. Mona was more than just a pet to him; she was a loyal companion who had been with him through all the ups and downs. He had adopted her during his teenage years, and from the moment they met, she became his constant source of comfort and joy. Whether he was managing his father's company or lost in the act of painting, Mona was always by his side, her presence a reminder of the simpler, more peaceful moments in life.

Despite the demands of running a business and the occasional pressure to put aside his artistic ambitions, Raiden never stopped painting. He continued to work as a part-time painter, occasionally exhibiting his work at small galleries around Jakarta, where the fusion of Japanese minimalism and the rich, chaotic vibrancy of Indonesia created a distinct style. His art was a reflection of who he was—a man caught between two worlds, yet always searching for harmony within them.

In the quiet moments when the business day was done, Raiden would retreat to his studio, with Mona by his side, and immerse himself in the world of colors and canvas. Through his art, Raiden Vale found balance—a balance that allowed him to fulfill his obligations, express his creativity, and find peace in the companionship of his beloved dog.
