Capturing Beauty in the Ruins (2023) Painting by Aji Setiawan

My illustrations are inspired by personal experiences, as well as my observations of life around me. I use various mediums including digital and traditional media, such as watercolor, ink, and graphite. I also incorporate elements of collage into my work to create unique compositions. My illustrations are often characterized by playful colors and shapes, and a dream-like quality that allows the viewer to explore the subconscious and explore their imagination.

My art is based on representing memories, emotions, and feelings. I draw with pen and ink, watercolors, and digital media. I focus on creating imagination scenes that evoke an emotion in the viewer. My art explores the inner workings of the human psyche, with a focus on capturing subtle nuances of emotion. I often use delicate line work and vibrant colors to create a dreamlike atmosphere. My art is a reflection of my own experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I hope to evoke a sense of wonder in the viewer, and to inspire them to explore their own thoughts and emotions.

I am also an artist from Jakarta who has worked in zinemaker and underground music and started to actively draw since 2012. During my career as a zinemaker and musician, I have worked with several Indonesian and international artists for the zines and music projects I created.
