The Artist Story

She loves to draw. She has been practicing to draw since young, from paper to digital art. Many artists on instagram have inspired her. Her challenge was when she experienced art block, causing her determination to lose focus. When she is working on a project, she values the praise and support from friends and family. During the process of searching for an inspiration, she searched about a culture that was almost extinct, that where she found Betawi Mask Dance. Although it was believed as a ritual to cease away bad lucks, people nowadays just see it as simply a form of entertainment. There she found her style by creating the magic and colors of the Betawi mask dance.
