about.

Yen Melia is a visual artist from Jakarta, Indonesia. She holds a bachelor's degree in Architecture Engineering from Parahyangan Catholic University (2018) and is currently pursuing an MA in Fine Arts at LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore. Her practice critically examines the act of looking as a complex, unstable, and embodied process, moving beyond passive image consumption. Influenced by her architectural background, Yen constructs environments where clarity and ambiguity coexist, dissolving boundaries between elements. Her work invites viewers into spaces of uncertainty, where recognition remains elusive, and observation becomes heightened. Figures and forms hover at the edge of visibility, evoking memory, presence, and absence. By prompting viewers to reconsider not only what they see but how they see, she foregrounds perception as a provisional, open-ended experience.​

​

Yen has exhibited internationally, including her solo show “She Blooms in Colors” with Anggrek Agency in Zurich, Switzerland (2024). She has participated in group exhibitions such as the Seoul Art Show with SOMA Gallery (2023), Art Jakarta with RUCI Art Space and Artsphere Gallery (2024, 2025), and a group exhibition with STEM from Srisasanti Gallery in Yogyakarta (2022).
