Laura Suryani Thedja

Laura Suryani Thedja, (born 1993,  Berlin), is a German-Indonesian artist based in Berlin. Originally starting out with classical oil painting, she has integrated traditional Indonesian batik techniques into her practice. By combining painting and batik, she creates a unique visual language that reinterprets both mediums through her bi-cultural perspective. Her body of work explores themes of European and Indonesian mythology, identity, and colonialism. Often incorporating sculptural elements and vibrant imagery, Thedja’s textiles investigate cultural intersections, visual markers of heritage, and lingering colonial legacies.
