Bali Nine member Myuran Sukumaran has requested to spend his final days painting. He painted this self-portrait, showing a bullet through his heart . The painting is a self-portrait of Sukumaran with a bullet hole through his heart . It comes after it was confirmed that Australians Andrew Chan and Sukumaran will be executed just after the stroke of midnight on Wednesday (3am AEST). The date - April 29 - became official when a local funeral director in Cilacap, the nearest port to Nusakambangan, or Death Island, was instructed to inscribe the names of those to be shot by firing squad and the date of their deaths. Sukumaran only began painting when he was arrested and sent to prison in 2005. His skill and love for his art grew as he was mentored by well-known Australian artist Ben Quilty - who has also led the charge in the mercy campaign to save the pair's lives.

Painting has proven a great sense of solace for Sukumaran during his time in jail and has even run art classes for fellow inmates as part of the drug rehabilitation program that he set up with Chan. The talented artist's birthday in early April was marked in London where his cousin organised an exhibition of his paintings at the Amnesty International headquarters. The Bali Nine pair's lawyer Julian McMahon took four disturbing self portrait from Sukumaran's cell on Sunday, depicting the artist shot through the heart. The paintings were signed: 'Our new prison. A Bad Sleep Last Night', 'A strange day' and '72hrs Just Started'.

Chan and Sukumaran both refused to sign their execution warrants during official proceedings on Saturday, saying they believed it would be unjust to kill them. Chan and Sukumaran, convicted in 2005 for their role in a plot to smuggle 8.3kg of heroin from Bali to Australia, were given the official 72 hours notice on Saturday. 'He's found peace with what may happen but he and we all feel that this is a grave injustice and it did not have to be this way and it still doesn't have to be this way,' Chinthu Sukumaran told reporters, after spending a couple of hours with his brother.

His mother Raji and sister Brintha also visited on Sunday, making the sad journey with Chan's mother Helen, brother Michael and fiancée Feby Herewila and other friends. Chinthu Sukumaran said they asked Joko Widodo to show the same mercy he'd asked for his own citizens on death row overseas. 'Please, please show mercy,' he said. 'There are nine people with families that love them. Sukumaran painted the portraits in the hours before he and Andrew Chan were given execution notices . 'That's mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters. 'We ask the president to please use his powers to intervene and save their lives.' Mr Chan said his brother's only wish would be to go to church with his family in his last days. 'The two boys are still holding up pretty well considering they feel this is injust (unjust) to what has happened over the last ten years with their whole case,' he said. 'Somewhere in the legal system for Indonesia there's got to be mercy and the president needs to show that now. 'He's the only one that can stop it and it's not too late to do so.' It's reported only nine of the 10 prisoners Indonesia had readied for execution will face the firing squad, with Frenchman Serge Atlaoui granted a reprieve. Mr Atlaoui apparently won a reprieve based on an administrative matter. Mr McMahon carried Sukumaran's self-portraits away after showing them to reporters . The back of Sukumaran's morbid paintings read: 'self portrait' 72hrs just started' The paintings were signed by Sukumaran and dated .

Lawyers are pleading with Jakarta to respect legal proceedings that several are still pursuing, while international pressure for mercy also grows. France has pledged to work with Australia to halt the executions, with Prime Minister Tony Abbott set to meet Francois Hollande on Monday. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has been seeking urgent talks with her Indonesian counterpart since Friday. Chan and Sukumaran's lawyers have lodged a challenge with the constitutional court but the attorney-general doesn't acknowledge it, arguing the pair have exhausted their appeals.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has added his voice to global calls for Indonesia to halt its execution plans. 'The Secretary General urges President Joko Widodo to urgently consider declaring a moratorium on capital punishment in Indonesia, with a view toward abolition,' a spokesman for Ban said.
