Hello! Glad you’re here!

Agnes Gunawan is an illustrator and designer whose creative journey has taken her from Jakarta to New York and now to Dresden.

With a playful, colorful visual language, she creates micro-stories—like visual haikus—that invite reflection and evoke joyful memories. Her work blends sociocultural and ecological values, exploring identity, multiculturalism, and the beauty of everyday life.

Inspired by her lively son and her experiences as a mother in a third country, Agnes has seen how art transcends borders. Through editorial illustrations, personal commissions, and customized gifts, she creates meaningful connections, using art to reflect personal stories, evoke memories, and foster understanding and peace.

She loves playing with composition, exploring color harmonies, and adding handmade textures, creating illustrations that feel warm, lively, and full of life.
