Tatang Elmy Wibowo, a batik artist from Indonesia, says that beauty lies in the little things. “The batik technique is a slow, calm process that allows you to notice and convey the most subtle expressions of natural beauty, open your imagination, and express ideas that you care about. I seek to talk to people through batik,” Tatang says.
According to Tatang, batik patterns and the harmony of colors can make the simplest fabric amazing. An individually selected batik style and a garment sewn from it reveal an individual's personality. "You should trust your individuality, even when your style is very different from others," he says.
Tatang Elmy Wibowo (Indonesia) was born in 1975 in Yogyakarta into a family of batik decorators. This circumstance later inspired him to create a unique version of batik – a combination of classic and modern fabric decoration using natural dyes. Tatang runs his own gallery-studio called the Leksa Ganesha Batik Gallery. He is a proponent of conscious environmentalism, collaborating with the Friends of the Earth Network of Indonesia.
