“A picture is worth a thousand words”

Elicia Edijanto - Indonesia based artist. Currently lives in Jakarta, spending her time painting and working as a graphic designer.

“There’s an innate relationship between children and the animal kingdom. Our children sing songs about animals,

they have toy animals, they have books about animals and they dream about animals” says the artist.

Elicia captures unique connection between animals and children using only black and white watercolours. Small, vulnerable children stand alongside creatures of the wild like elephants, wolves and bears with peace and confidence. Those dreamlike-scenes are both tranquil and contemplative.
