Rastika is a glass painting pioneer from Cirebon has shown how the object variation, background development, and calligraphy in his artwork. His glass painting serves the beauty of itself and he has reformed traditional themes in glass paintings. This is an art involving design, style, theme, and the pattern, that always growth, renewal, and friction, so that it produces a new and prim painting technique. A combination of rocks and clouds and that of a dragon, which are quite often found in Cirebon's glass paintings, are also evident in his creations. The color harmony suggests western nuances, which are obviously the outcome of his wide acquaintanceship with fine art academics. Rastika has produced lots of glass painting, producing the classic and modern classic theme and pattern.
