Biography:
Nabila Ayu Aviani (b. 2000) is an Indonesian figurative painter, raised in the United Arab Emirates and based in The Hague, Netherlands. She completed her Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art specialising in painting at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), The Hague.
Authentic, empowering and somewhat relatable, Nabila visualises her unique and powerful voice towards her bold and intense figurative paintings. Through these paintings, she challenges taboos and societal norms regarding mental health conditions. Through these, she aims to tackle ableism. Themes such as (self) hate, identity (crisis) and (self) deterioration play a prominent part in her paintings. Through her brutally direct paintings, she aims to destigmatise mental illness by allowing for certain deranged feelings, emotions and thoughts to be expressed, not repressed.
By showing the perfect imperfections of the human condition, uncovers a layer of humanity that tends to be hidden. Despite constantly walking on eggshells, she attempts to search for the grey zone in this black-and-white world.
