Artists
TuTu
A.A.G Airlangga alias TuTu was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. As an artist who was born in the early 70s, of course, many things have been recorded and felt. His personal and social life is surrounded by things like animation, history, cartoons, and things that smell like science fiction, allowing him to think broadly and far ahead. He always proceeds methodically, namely by mapping the narrative and his anxiety, research studying the material of a medium, and how to work in an appropriate way to convey his narrative.
For example, in the field of music, not only did he join a band or electronic music group, but he was a Music Director for feature films until he was nominated as The Best OST by the National Indonesian Movie Festival for the film Janji Joni (Kalyanashira, 2005).
Tutu started his career as a conventional Animator, freelance Illustrator, and in 2000 he began to enter the world of Street Art. This is because he is interested in seeing the public's response to his work, so he pursues it. He has participated in many Street Art events and exhibitions, both national and international, so that he has entered into several national and international media and his profile has also been published in several books that have been released internationally. However, the saturation of the uniformity of the Street Art scene made him develop and explore the concept material and visuals more broadly, without leaving the historical component he was passing through.
Tutu's work visualizes the balance between all elements that are not classical geometric rules in general, the elaboration of microscopic forms, the incorporation of different visual techniques, formulated in the style of science fiction and fantasy (Science Fiction) on a medium. In his work, visuals often appear with hidden meanings such as leaving pieces of a puzzle to be solved.
By bringing geometric abstraction forms and giving a retro yet futuristic
feel, his work seems to open a new world that exists but is not real. Dimensionless space, massless form, non-linear time – something that invites imaginary exploration. Until now he carries Retrofuturistic Deco Realism.
Tusita Mangalani
Tusita Mangalani (born in Indonesia, 1998) is an artist whose work serves as a form of self-expression, radiating strength, and confidence. For her, creating art is a way to channel her frustration, expressed through mixed-media art that combine painting techniques and beads embroidery. The beads represent a spirit of confidence, transforming her frustration into beauty.
She pursued formal education in Textile Craft, and her artistic career began in 2024 through the artist incubation program, AMP – Atreyu Moniaga Project #12: Ad Maiora.

Widi Pangestu
Widi Pangestu, Mainly working with papaer with traditional technique known as Paper-making. My experimentations take place inside the spectrum of material-crafting and the medium of paper, which focuses on image - making, object-making and the details of the experimentation process as a work of artistic research. It explores the possibilities in material-crafting through different traditional (manual) preferen ces, while colliding them with rhetorical experiences encountered during the process. My works are then presented to emphasize how human relations are carried out through the transformation of paper materials. The biomorphic quality in the work and the fragility it presents are a form of intersection between organic principles and the practice of an industrial society.
Wisnu Aji Sasaka
Wisnu Aji Sasaka is a visual artist from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In creating his paintings, he is influenced by individual phenomena and surrealism, which become his visual language. As a surrealist painter, Wisnu weaves together the interplay of individual experiences and surrealism with his personal journey family dynamics, social encounters and transforms them into metaphorical visual symbols rich with emotion.
Yohan Liliyani
Yohan Liliyani (b. 1992) is a practicing female Indonesian artist, sculptor and photographer imbued with the fascination of the ordinary stills.
Liliyani challenges our gaze to reconfigure on how we paint portraiture, by using objects instead of subjects.
Her first series documents “artifacts” as not stills, yet as portraiture of the living. Liliyani’s background as fashion photographer allows her to play the duality of both objects versus subjects within the lens of the composer.
Zita Nuella
Zita Nuella (b. Indonesia, 1998), affectionately known by
her initial Z, is an artist based in Bandung. A graduate
of interior design, her art career is nurtured through her
participation in the artist incubation program, AMP –
Atreyu Moniaga Project #12: Ad Maiora (2024).
Through a deeply embodied process, Zita Nuella
transforms the quiet turbulence of lived experience into
abstract compositions grounded in gesture, memory,
and sensation. Working with pastels and oil, her practice
exists as both a refuge and a reckoning—a space
between inner and outer worlds. Nuella approaches
the canvas as one might approach silence: tenderly,
attentively, and without resistance. Her works arise from
an intimate choreography between body and emotion,
giving form to vulnerability, transience, and the quiet
bravery of presence. In her words and in her practice,
painting is not separate from life—it is how she listens
to it.
