YAVIZ

Yaviz Basalamah is a visual artist most known for signature eyes that can be seen in all of his works. He mainly prefers to work with acrylic on canvas, but at times likes to combine other mediums such as grain gels and markers along with the acrylic. 

Yaviz's inspirations often come from music, fashion or movies that he can personally relate to. He also gets pleasure from retelling old stories through his works in ways that can be relevant for today. 

So far Yaviz has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Surabaya, Jakarta and Bali. He also decided to follow artistic inspirations he finds in fashion by launching his own clothing brand, The Y Label. The brand debuted in 2011 with a collection of shirts and ties for men inspired by Yaviz's love for bold colours and geometric patterns.

Yaviz currently lives and works in Jakarta where he continues looking for ways to express his ever-growing inspirations through his art.
