TALITHA MARANILA
Born and raised in Jakarta, Talitha went on to pursue her studies at Lasalle College International. Half of her childhood in the 90s was spent with her grandfather, a doctor who instilled in her a strong interest in biology and science. Her natural inclination brought her to the fine arts, but his influence is still very present throughout her body of work.
Talitha’s aspiration is to infuse and project aspects of science and spirituality through her art. She considers her creative work to be a manifestation of her spirituality. She explores the possible worlds we could create through the help of science and art, and what each discipline could do to reflect society’s issues and perhaps affect political responses. Having engaged with diverse religions and cultures, her work is inspired by their visual symbols and cues -- yet rearranges them into new, conceptually layered installations.
The choice of materials is thoroughly calculated and her process is intuitively ritualistic, but sometimes she finds herself in avenues of the unexpected; adding an ironic twist to familiar scenes and provoking the spectator to be new and perhaps unexplored territories. Her arrangements are schematic and invite the viewer to leave certainty and move into a space of speculation. She relies on our innate desires for beauty, poetics, and seduction.
Being an artist for Talitha is a method of existence. She believes that being able to mature as an artist isn’t possible without maturing first as a person. Seeing her art as an extension and embodiment of herself, she views art not only as a medium to self-reflection, she utilizes art as a medium to connect with her inner spirit as she works in a very intuitive manner in the process of creation, deeply diving into her subconscious. Themes of unity, oneness, wholeness and the idea of duality is an omnipresent theme in her life that is reflected in her work. You can see the resemblance of nature from the organic shape of her sculpture, the brush strokes in her painting, and the light to reconstruct our perspectives of reality. Talitha has showcased her works in Switzerland, Berlin and had several private commissioned projects from Jakarta, Magelang and Singapore. Her most recent works have been exhibited all over the country from Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Bandung and are currently on display in Ubud, Bali. She currently resides and works from her studio in Jakarta, Indonesia.
