About me
Mutiabunga is a Balinese artist based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Born on the 13th January 1995 in Denpasar, Bali. She study Fine Art at Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta. Mutiabunga had been involved in some fine arts competition from childhood to senior high school and exhibition groups in Bali and Yogyakarta. Her work based on concept of sense of the body. Sense of body by which it lift about gestures daily in the context of erotic. In her idea, Mutiabunga dares to making works about erotica but most were still a little taboo in the neighborhood residents who preferred erotica same to pornography. Body is remarkably steal attention on her angle, because language spoken not ensure the truth absolute. But in technical, Mutiabunga using distortion and abstraction visual. Experience erotic gestures is largely was the result of her observations against behavior and lifestyle of the society and doesn’t cover the possibility of the experience feels herself. Mutiabunga trying to observe the body gestures that will bring new ideas to draw. In the practice, she also think how to get artistic vibes in order to bring up the effect an erotica experience. For now she is still exploring more in two dimension, but she isn’t closing it is likely to try in three diemnsions even the four dimensions.
