Manuela Wijayanti
Manuela Wijayanti (Jakarta, 8 Mei 1990) mulai mengenal seni sejak tahun 1993 dan aktif memamerkan karyanya sejak tahun 2005. Ella pertama kali meninggalkan Indonesia setelah mendapat beasiswa dari Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) di Singapura, di mana ia mulai mengasah kemampuan keseniannya. Sejak itu, Ella memfokuskan perhatiannya pada seni lukis dan pindah ke Amerika Serikat untuk belajar di School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), di mana ia dianugerahi Distinguished Merit scholarship. Melalui berkarya dengan para penasihatnya di Advanced Painting Studios, Ella memperluas kekaryaannya untuk mencakup berbagai macam media, konsep, dan intensi. Ia lulus dari SAIC pada tahun 2015 dengan the Edward L Ryerson Fellowship Award dan terus berkarya di Chicago sampai kembali ke Jakarta di tahun 2017.
