To Batik the Universe

Selamat datang! We are Agus Ismoyo and Nia Fliam of Brahma Tirta Sari Studio. The first in the series brings us inside the batik studio of Brahma Tirta Sari in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Led by collaborative artists Agus Ismoyo and Nia Fliam, the traditional Javanese creative process of batik-making lies at the heart of what they do and the contemporary batik they create.

Built on a deeply collaborative art practice, they strive to delve deeper into understanding the core of this traditional method of art-making, seeking new ways to expand the limits of contemporary creative expression through batik. 

Come into their space. Peek into their world and step inside.
