Make-up artist and art-painter Roy James Döhne got fascinated by ancient, virtual, ethnic, Javanese female and legendary Divine who is named by the Javanese Ratu Kidul, or Nyai Loro Kidul. Born on the island of Morotai, Indonesia, raised at Sorong, Papua Irian Jaya, his home-place for now is The Hague where the Queen resides ... Queen Beatrix for now!
He named his world-tour Going South - Going Mystic after his travelling around the world. For about 25 years he has been working as a make-up artist/hair stylist with Corine's Agency, Dutch best model-agency, Amsterdam. Doing make-up & hair with the most beautiful females and travelling to the most exquisite places on the world it has been a great privilege to him to visit all kind of cultural places.
RoyJava >>> "When I heard about some ritual-offerings included hair- and make-stuff, specially dedicated to the Javanese Goddess I got so surprised while asking the Javanese why thys make offerings like that stuff. "Because the Ratu is a Goddess", I heard, and a Goddess always is beautiful. That sounds familiar to me as make-up artist, and I could understand the intention of this idea. And I loved it! That's why I started to look after all writings about this Javanese Divinity. All I found were "cerita rakyat" and "dongeng", like fairy-tales. I did not understand why. So my studies and research got the most important in my life ... showing some of the mystery of life."
Thanks for reading.
