Indonesia

Imes Paskalia is an emerging artist based in Jakarta. After graduated from Lasalle College of The Arts, Singapore, majoring in Fine Arts (2018) she went back home to Indonesia for good and actively practicing her art until now, mostly in painting and drawing. At that period of time, she’s been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and Post-Traumatic Syndrome Disorder (PTSD) which make her art practice are deeply personal. She believes that her abstract approach on to the canvas is her intangible feelings, a visible visual memories from the past until present time, also the form of her psychosis and thoughts.

Imes Paskalia

Scabulous presents a raw, deeply personal exploration of mental health, emotional recovery, and vulnerability by Paskalia Prameswari Wardhani (Imes). Featuring clinical perspectives from her therapist, Dr. Tracie Anne Lazaroo, alongside Imes’s residency works—divided into Fertilization, The Void, The Bargain Compromise, and No-Mindedness—the exhibition parses complex trauma, medication, and psychological turmoil. By channeling intrusive thoughts, personal grievances, and dark humor into art, Scabulous externalizes internal wounds like a protective scab, transforming private healing into a universal dialogue on resilience, empathy, and acceptance
