ATREYU MONIAGA

Born & Lives

Atreyu Moniaga (b. 1987, Pontianak, Indonesia) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is deeply rooted in philosophical introspection and a devotion to visual storytelling. Working across watercolor, oil, acrylic, and sculpture, Moniaga’s art navigates the intricate terrains of human psychology, internal connection, and emotional behavior. His highly symbolic and ornamental language invites viewers to engage with the unseen—those private negotiations of identity, vulnerability, and resilience that shape the self. Each piece is a personal yet universal investigation of what lies within. He has been featured in prominent publications and is recognised for his ability to merge rich personal narrative with sophisticated visual execution. A passionate advocate for emerging talent, Moniaga founded the Atreyu Moniaga Project in 2013 as a free mentorship initiative dedicated to nurturing young artists. The project has been a launching pad for many of Indonesia’s rising names. Atreyu Moniaga lives and works in Jakarta, Indonesia.
