As one the few Indonesian modern artists who made distinctive contributions to the development of abstract art in Indonesia, Fadjar Sidik started his abstract experimentations in the late 1950s and was fully immersed in developing his own visual vocabulary of abstract forms and compositions from the 1960s onwards. He began to explore spatial relationships, akin to how technology enabled us to see and experience a kaleidoscope of world cultures. The viewer perceives his forms not individually because of the density they command on the picture plane, but in groups, where each is subsumed. The triangles, squares, circles and sinuous lines he rendered are constantly in flux, and in a gradual evolutionary way, these forms allude to the cycle of life. The picture plane is as much a temporal dimension as it is a spatial manifestation.

法賈希迪是少數對印尼現代抽象藝術發展有特殊貢獻的畫家，其自1950年代起便醉心於抽象藝術，1960年代全心投入發展抽象形式與構圖的獨特視覺語彙。法賈希迪以空間關係的探索發展其創作，巧妙比喻人類如何透過科技去體驗世界文化的變化多端。畫布上的幾何圖形，包括三角形、正方形、圓形和曲線不斷流動著，持續變化，如同生命的運轉流傳，生生不息。畫面成為一個無限擴張的立體空間，而空間出現也造就了時間的存在。
