About me

Nabila Ayu Aviani (b. 2000, Indonesia) is an Indonesian artist raised in the United Arab Emirates and based in The Hague, the Netherlands. In 2023, she graduated from the BA Fine Art programme, specialising in painting, at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), The Hague.

Shaped by diaspora, intimacy and influences from pop culture, Aviani’s practice explores memory as a fluid and emotional landscape. Through figurative painting, she constructs narratives that balance humour and vulnerability, using autobiographical moments to emphasise shared experiences of longing, belonging and self-performance. Her bold and intimate works serve as visual fragments of lived reality where youthful references and contemporary digital aesthetics coexist with psychological depth. The personal narratives in Aviani’s paintings act as emotional processing and self-reconciliation, inviting viewers to recognise their own memories within hers.
