Speaking during an iftar dinner at the Democratic Party headquarters in Jakarta, Prabowo said that it was likely that he would put Susilo's paintings on display at the planned presidential palace in Nusantara, the country's new capital in East Kalimantan. The painting,"Standing Firm Like Rocks," depicting waves crashing into a pillar of rock, was dedicated by Susilo to Prabowo and is a metaphor for the relationship between the two senior politicians as they face the prospect of collaboration in the future."I am so touched that you honour me in such a way. With your own hands, you gift me this," Prabowo said.

While in office, Susilo also developed his singing skills and released compilations of mostly slow ballads. Susilo said it took him 10 hours to finish the new painting he dedicated to Prabowo.
