Aphrodita Wibowo

(1985)

APHRODITA WIBOWO (b.1985) is a self-taught, multidisciplinary artist whose practice bridges personal narrative and material exploration. With an academic background in International Relations and early artistic influences drawn from both of her parents, Wibowo approaches art as a site of dialogue—between memory and imagination, intimacy and collectivity. Working across paper cutting, hand embroidery, soft sculpture, and digital painting, she constructs tactile environments animated by vibrant color and playful, organic forms. She tells stories from the perspective of her “inner child,” guided by spontaneity, honesty, and emotional warmth. Her works often begin with personal memories and imagined narratives, which she develops into tactile, cheerful compositions. In doing so, she creates intimate yet relatable experiences that invite viewers to connect with the tenderness and universality within her stories. Wibowo has exhibited widely in Indonesia and internationally, with presentations in Bali, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Bandung, and New York, continuing to cultivate art as a joyful space for shared storytelling and connection.
