Nunung WS

studied fine art at the Surabaya Fine Arts Academy (AKSERA). Reflecting the traditional Islamic prohibition of idolatry, she has since the very beginning of her career focused on paintings in geometric abstractionism style, doing away with shapes, and layering colors, to explore its infinite possibilities. She owes a great deal of her inspiration to the mountain landscapes and sunlight of Java, and other aspects of its natural environment that surround her daily, and the spiritual qualities of that environment. Her painting also resonates with the energy dwelling in traditional textiles, where the intersection of warp and weft creates new colors.
