Metta started her journey as a photographer ten years ago where she found her voice in visual arts. Graduated as a graphic designer and worked in architecture realm, art becomes her most sensible tool to communicate. Growing up, she explores numbers of medium: photography, filmmaking, prints, publication and ceramics. Metta's work is distinctly influenced by social anthropology, humanity, culture and most importantly her family heritage and upbringings in Glodok - Metta's neighbourhood.

She began to understand colour through black and white imagery. Her work has been very much evolved in monochromatic spectrum, especially on things that captured her soul. Through the detachment of colour, it has always been the way she deepened her senses and understanding of life.

Today Metta is balancing her time as an artist and project director - while running her own studio in Jakarta. To keep herself in balance she routinely does meditation, workout and voluntary work; roast coffee occasionally to spend a good Sunday with her family. Annually she spent a blissful amount of time in Ubud work with ceramics especially on anagama; attending conferences and exhibitions particularly in Asia that relates to technology, culture and art.

She always on the lookout for wonderful individuals from every walk of life to share ideas, collaborate and make positive social change. May fate brought us together. Say hello at write@mettasetiandi.com
