Five Disabled Painters from Tegal Participate in National Police Creative Content Competition
Five painters with disabilities from Tegal Regency, Central Java, participated in the National Police Public Relations Division’s Creative Content Competition in the Painting category, carrying the theme ‘Police for the Community’. Their participation served as proof that creativity, a spirit of productivity, and concern for national values can be realised without recognising physical limitations, on Monday 13 July 2026.
The competition, organised by the National Police Public Relations Division, raised three sub-themes: Police and Social Reality; Uniforms, Duties, and Hopes; and Satire for a Safe Nation. Through their paintings, the participants were invited to convey messages about the closeness of the police to the community, humanitarian values, and hopes for the creation of a safe and peaceful environment.
The five participants representing Tegal Regency in the painting category were Nova Aulia Nisa, Naifa Fauziyyah, Nidahtul Umaem, Isham Ahmad Basyir, and Rani Lestarianto. All participants are persons with disabilities who continue to develop their talents and abilities in the field of painting.
Tegal Police Chief AKBP Bayu Prasetyo expressed his appreciation for the spirit of the participants, who have shown that limitations are not a barrier to continuing to create and achieve. ‘We appreciate the extraordinary spirit of the disabled painters from Tegal Regency who participated in the National Police Public Relations Division’s Creative Content Competition. Their works not only display creativity but also convey messages about care, diversity, and togetherness. Hopefully, this participation will become an inspiration that every citizen has the same opportunity to achieve and contribute to the nation,’ said AKBP Bayu Prasetyo on Monday (13/7/2026).
According to Bayu, the participation of these disabled painters also reflects the National Police’s commitment to supporting an inclusive space for all levels of society. ‘Through art, they are able to convey positive messages about a humanist police force that is close to the community and continues to be present to provide protection, shelter, and service without distinguishing the background or condition of each citizen,’ Bayu explained.
Bayu expressed hope that the National Police Public Relations Division’s Creative Content Competition would not only be an art competition but also a medium to strengthen the spirit of inclusivity. ‘Including fostering the self-confidence of persons with disabilities, as well as inspiring the community that every work has meaning and value capable of building optimism and unity,’ he concluded.
