Art making is my way to contemplate and to bear witness to personal stories. For me, the act of creating is a matter of existence and survival. This, the primal urge to create - a continuous struggle to flesh out my visions, to release them out there; to let them touch and be touched by others. To spark connections, to expand, to inspire.
Nature with their macro and micro glory. Intimate matters of being human: hidden layers within our dreams, memories, bodies, emotions and drives. Their intriguingly complex depth is the source of my awe and inspiration.
To realise my artistic visions, I explore whatever medium speaks to me; from paint and porcelain to metal, fabric, and digital prints - which are often presented in the form of installations - and very recently, video.
Besides art making, I also create jewellery for FHUNG artistmade and design digital scrapbooking products for Ztampf! digital artistry. Whenever the opportunity arises, I enjoy working on graphic design projects as well - be it online, digital or prints. I lived in Hong Kong for twenty-one years, working as all around creative, from toy designer, graphic designer, and curator, to art director. From October 2019 to end of September 2022, I worked as an Art Director for TheBookshop at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. I have returned to live in Indonesia for good since 2023.
