Nadiyah Suyatna

Nadiyah is an illustrator and comic artist based in Bandung, Indonesia. She’s passionate about visual storytelling as a medium to tell stories through a different lens.

Her work mainly revolves around identities, cultures, and other issues she cares about, wrapped with her personal touch and vibrant colours. Being an engineering student who also takes various classes from the fine art department, she’s interested in spaces where science and art meets.

She also participated in Illustrate a Story 2018, where her folklore-inspired illustration series “Nini Anteh” was awarded by Erlangga for Kids, a major Indonesian children’s books publisher.

Nadiyah has also produced editorial illustrations for clients such as New Naratif and VICE Indonesia.

When she’s not studying or drawing, she spends her time reading books or wandering around the neighbourhood.
