  usually were my friends.”
  Shout, love, and be loved,
  My new series is about the little girl, Gwen Silent,
  It's a metaphor of feeling, and vulnerability,
  Also of many things and events happened around me.
  Things that happened because of HIS permission,
  But which I never understand why it happened.”
  (Touch of Heaven by A.C. Andre Tanama)
• Sobre el artista

  Albertus Charles Andre Tanama, Andre Tanama, nacido en 1982 en Yogyakarta, Indonesia, es un artista versátil y profesor en el Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Yogyakarta. Obtuvo su Sarjana Seni con cum laude del ISI Yogyakarta en 2005 y completó su Magister Seni en 2010, también con cum laude. ​

  En su carrera artística, Tanama ha recibido varios premios. En 2006, ganó la segunda Trienal Seni Grafis Indonesia en Bentara Budaya Jakarta y fue reconocido como uno de los 40 mejores artistas jóvenes de Indonesia por la Galería Jogja.

  En 2007, recibió el Premio de Arte Académico I de grabado del FSR ISI Yogyakarta y una beca para la creación en grabado del Ministerio de Educación Nacional. ​

  La obra de Tanama se caracteriza por tres personajes singulares:
  Wayang Monyong, Gwen Silent y Agathos. Wayang Monyong es una deformación de la cabeza humana, que surge de las preocupaciones personales y las inquietudes cotidianas.

  Gwen Silent, una niña de 4-5 años con los ojos cerrados y sin boca, simboliza la discrepancia entre la percepción y la realidad.

  Agathos actúa como contraparte de Gwen Silent, similar al principio yin-yang, y representa el equilibrio entre el mundo interior y exterior. ​

  Su obra se ha exhibido tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, con exposiciones individuales que incluyen “The Tales of Gwen Silent” en Bentara Budaya Yogyakarta y Yakarta, y “Agathos” en la Galería Langgeng, Magelang. También ha participado en exposiciones colectivas en países como Holanda, Singapur e Italia. ​

  Además de sus actividades artísticas, Tanama trabaja como profesor en ISI Yogyakarta, donde comparte sus conocimientos y experiencia con artistas emergentes. ​
