Story Behind the Art: Yuni Kristina

I learned the art of batik when I was very young, since my mother is a batik artist in Java. She has been making batik at home for over 23 years, while waiting each day for my father, a fisherman, to come home from the sea. As you can imagine, batik is a part of my life. I started experimenting with the technique when I was 13 years old. Now I've learned to create different motifs and to work with other materials, such as silk. My mother still helps me a lot.
