Sawidji Studio Art Photography
Sawidji Studio Art Photography is founded on a partnership. One that focuses on the positive and unifying spirit of the creative process. This initiative began with Dian Dewi Reich and ManButur Suantara. Visit the Sawidji Studio Website
There are influences from commercial and technological directions that take us away from a purely creative process. The Sawidji Studio initiative continues the three primary values of Sawidji. As a mutual reminder of our wish to nurture the arts in Photography.
- Art only for the cultivation of Art.
- Commercial viability in an appropriate channel that does not diminish the integrity of creative development.
- Education and knowledge sharing.
Dian Dewi Reich is the Founder of Sawidji Gallery & Co. As an artist and writer, she is passionate about nurturing the pure creative collaborations that drive Sawidji Art and Photography through imagination and community spirit. With knowledge-sharing and inspiring dialogues, others may enjoy the beauty and wisdom of the creative process.
The art in photography is not just taking a picture. It is not just technical. It is putting the soul in the frame that is your image. So there may be a different story through your photograph. In the space of Sawidji Studio, we are finding a new driving inspiration to give our art and photography life.e

Sawidji Studio Collaborations in Art and Photography
From the beginning of the Sawidji Studio initiative, we aimed to bridge photography and fine art disciplines and unite them as part of a seamless creative language. Sawidji Collaborations bring a new perspective, translating art as one language and disciplines can merge seamlessly together for the strength of the theme. Sawidji Studio is a key component of several exhibitions. Bringing conceptual art through portrait narratives in Red Chair and the White Room, Kala and the Guardians and Manus, a Conscious Journey.
