Born in Pandeglang, West Java, in 1913, Agus Djaya studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten and the University of Amsterdam’s Faculty of Journalism (1947–1949), under the guidance of Willem van der Berg and Van Thienen. During his time in Europe, he met leading artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, and Ossip Zadkine.
