Ibu Maisaroh

Born 1990, Batang, Indonesia

Ibu Maisaroh learned batik tulis from her mother, Ibu Juriyah — herself a celebrated Rifa’iyah artist — and had mastered the artform by the age of fifteen. Batik is her consuming passion: she dedicates the greater part of her life to her practice. Her works consistently push beyond the expected, offering something at the next level of intricacy, inventiveness and spiritual depth. For this reason, they are highly sought after.
