Andre Adi Wijaya, also known as Andreas Wijaya, is a visual artist whose practice is rooted in pop classicism, an approach that combines classical figurative painting techniques with contemporary perspectives. Drawing from the reproduction and reinterpretation of Western art canons, he examines how visual forms long regarded as agung (exalted) can also carry traces of power, hierarchy and cultural repression.
His works use figures, light and religious symbolism not as neutral aesthetic elements, but as discursive devices open to reinterpretation. Influenced by the ideas of Fredric Jameson on pastiche and simulacra, as well as Neil Postman's cultural criticism, Andre approaches art as a site of tension between representation, collective memory and symbolic power, where meaning remains fluid rather than absolute.
