I am an Indonesian illustrator based in France, working freelance since graduating with honors from the illustration program of Ecole Emile Cohl in Lyon, France in 2020 after five years of architecture study and practice.
Growing up I was (and still am) obsessed with picture books and encyclopedias. My works often reflect my big curiosity on the world’s people, history, and landscapes; constantly exploring those themes and taking inspiration from them. My first book Trabouler (2020) is a testimony to all of these things : getting lost in town (and thought), admiring nice buildings, and observing people.
My projects vary greatly; from children’s documentaries to character and environment art for games. When not working, I can be found sitting in a café, near a pond, or on a ski lift.
