about.
Yen Melia Andreas (b. 1996) is an architectural graduate of Parahyangan Catholic University who has loved art since she was a young child. She spent a year enrolled in an online fine art program at the Milan Art Institute, an informal art school located in the United States. She also completed the artist incubation program run by the Atreyu Moniaga Project (AMP). Raised with traditional values, she was constantly reminded of the limitations imposed on women. She started to create art as a way to convey her experiences and eventually discovered solace in it for herself. She communicate her ideas and feelings by depicting sweet, pastel-colored characters with innocent, small-pointed eyes. These female characters frequently find themselves in uncomfortable situations, however they are depicted in sensitive scenes. The artwork of Yen demonstrates how grace and finesse can convey strength and fortitude.
