I’m Audya Amalia (b. 1996),
a visual artist based in Bandung, Indonesia.
I began my artistic journey in 2014 and completed my studies in Sculpture at the Faculty of Art and Design, Bandung Institute of Technology in 2019. Throughout my creative process, I have been drawn to various mediums, including sculpture, installation, and fiber art.
Over the past fice years, I have adopted a working method that involves a relational aesthetics and dialogical approach. This approach has allowed me to engage with diverse stories and experiences from people of varying ages and ethnic background. I also have a strong interest in topics related to domestic life, history, and spirituality.
