Yen Melia Andreas in front of Unseen Reality at Anggrek Agency, 6 April 2024.

Yen Melia Andreas (Indonesian, *1996) completed her Bachelor of Architecture degree before rediscovering her passion for art as a means to express her personal experiences. After graduating from Parahyangan Catholic University, Andreas enrolled in a year-long online fine art program at the Milan Art Institute. Her artistic journey continued as she joined the Atreyu Moniaga Project, an art incubator program, where she further honed her skills and developed her unique artistic voice.

Trained with the precision of an architect and with other artistic skills she picked up from the streets rather than formal art education, Andreas paints beautiful female figures in an oriental style that reflects her experiences, including her struggles to carve out her space within society. Her work serves as a reminder to appreciate one’s growth, to navigate trust issues with others, and to cherish simple moments in life, such as living in the present and enjoying the beauty of all seasons.
