About the Artist
Illustration with
Passion & Soul
Hi, I'm Tessa, I have always believed that food is more than just something you eat, it is a story, a memory, and a feeling. Based in the heart of Yogyakarta, I began my artistic journey with traditional watercolor, drawn to the way pigment and water dance together on paper. My specialty have always been food, capturing the soul of everyday dishes with a warmth and intimacy that makes you almost smell the aroma right off the page.
When the pandemic reshaped the world, it also reshaped my art. I picked up a digital brush for the first time and discovered that digital watercolor wasn't a departure from what I loved, but an extension of it, the same softness, the same flowing layers of color, now with a whole new world of possibility at my fingertips. Today, I continues to paint from Yogyakarta, blending the soul of traditional watercolor with the freedom of the digital canvas, one delicious painting at a time.
