Elicia Edijanto
“Back in the old days, we used to live in nature, side by side with all its element; us human, animals, plants, in harmony”.
Elicia Edijanto was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, twenty eight years ago. She has been painting since she was little. She graduated from Tarumanagara University, majoring in Visual Communication Design, she has been working as graphic designer for years. Computer and digital media are like her daily feed. That’s when she started to feel the longing to paint again, manually, to feel the texture of the paper, canvas, the brush, the wet paint drops, that she decided to go from digital back to traditional. She loves using watercolor because it is light and transparent. As she explains, “although the colours are vibrant, people would not feel like they’re overwhelmed with colors”. She loves the faded effect produced by watercolor as well as working with watercolor because it can always bring about unexpected things, and most of all, there’s no “CTRL Z”. No turning back, just like living our life, keep going on: “You don’t have absolute control when paint is applied to wet paper. Sometimes you just learn to let it flow, make its own shape”.

Natura Nihil Frustra Facit. Interview with Elicia Edijanto
There’s an innate relationship between children and the animal kingdom. Our children sing songs about animals, they have toy animals, they have books about animals and they dream about animals
You are a graphic designer. How did your adventure with monochromatic watercolours start?
As a child I was called “the artist of the family”. I have always really loved to draw and paint. I had lots of crayons, coloured pencils, watercolors, etc. When I became an adult I worked as a graphic designer. My work brings me closer to digital media. I loved it but at the same time I also started to feel the longing to return to traditional media. I longed to paint again, to feel the texture of the paper, canvas, the brush, the wet paint drops, everything!
Watercolor is my favorite medium. Although the colours are vibrant, one doesn’t feel overwhelmed by them. I love the diffuse effect produced by watercolors?. I love working with watercolor because it has the "Surprise" moment. You don't have absolute control when the paint is applied to wet paper. Sometimes you just learn to let it flow. I don't really have a
