Meet Renata

Renata’s art celebrates color and movement, transporting us to a place where we feel beauty. Born and raised in Indonesia, Renata came to the US to study engineering and later pursued a career in technology. Primarily self-taught, she started painting in college as a hobby. Following a decade of a successful tech career, Renata began to pursue her art passion professionally during the pandemic. Renata paints acrylic on canvas and uses her paintings to create jewelry, scarves, dresses, and more. Creating art is her meditation, and she hopes to inspire others with those feelings of calm and joy. She has done various exhibits in the US and her work can be found in private residences as well as offices in the US, Australia, Europe, and Asia.

INSPIRATION and TECHNIQUES 

Renata paints intuitively, allowing her to connect with and explore her emotions deeply. Her color palette is inspired by nature and space. Also a musician, her artistic direction is influenced by jazz and contemporary music. In addition to the traditional tools and techniques, she incorporates fluid acrylic tools and techniques using heat, air, and gravity to manipulate the paints. This allows her to create special effects and unique textures. She continues to explore and experiment with new techniques as she believes in a continuous learning journey in all aspects of life. .
