Scienthya Elona
is a multidisciplinary designer - artist from Indonesia,
currently based in Tilburg, NL.
I graduated from the Master Institute of Visual Cultures in Den Bosch, NL, with ︎ a Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design (Situated Design).
︎ My artistic practice grows out of a fascination with memory, personal desire, and genealogy. I’m interested in how fragments of the past connect to the present, and how identity can be shaped through these shifting connections. In my family, archives were never neatly kept. Photos and objects were collected, but always scattered. It wasn’t until I moved out of my parents’ house and later abroad that I began to recognize the beauty of archiving, not only as a way of preserving, but as a way of learning who we are. From a distance, I’ve developed a desire to build my own archive, recollecting, piecing together, and creating something whole out of fragments as a way of holding on while being far from home.
I explore these themes through drawing, photography, video, and publication, always returning to personal narrative and cultural background as starting points.
Alongside my artistic work, I am also ︎ a graphic designer with seven years of experience in branding and visual communication. My design practice focuses on visual identity, motion, video editing, and social media content creation, where I bring the same care for storytelling and clarity that shapes my art.
