Visual artist Isha Hening uses motion graphics as her primary medium. So far, she has created an expansive portfolio – which includes quite a few high-profile projects – filled with works that express her feelings, thoughts and stories. “The beauty of digital art is that it is actually a constant series of problem-solving situations. Every creation process is a challenge in its essence and I guess I’m just used to it and that problem-solving mindset applies to almost every aspect of my life,” said the Jakarta based artist.

Isha’s father taught her not to be greedy and never let money and power blind her. Perhaps more importantly, she taught her that she doesn’t have to always conform to society’s standards. With these principles in mind, Isha knows how to stay honest and true to herself. A good work-life balance is a privilege for an artist like her, but she doesn’t think about it too much. She just knows that when she has to work, she works and if she gets tired, she takes a break. It’s that simple.

Naturally, Isha’s life is always on the cutting edge of new technological advances. That being said, treats technology and social media like water and fire. She only takes and uses what she needs in clearly measurable amounts, backed by sufficient knowledge, in controlled environments. Too much water and fire can do plenty of damage, too little might make life difficult. So far, Isha has made both – that is, technology and social media – make her life easy and colourful.
