Murni (1966, Tabanan– 2006, Ubud) was a self-taught artist who refined her practice at the Seniwati Gallery of Art by Women and under the mentorship of painter I Dewa Putu Mokoh. Initially trained in the Pengosekan style, she later subverted its conventions to develop a visual language marked by simple contours and monochromatic backgrounds. Her work explores themes of female identity, desire, and trauma, reclaiming bodily agency through raw, instinctive forms. Once considered “immoral,” she is now recognized for reshaping the discourse on female experience in Indonesian contemporary art. Murni exhibited at the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra), the National Gallery Singapore, and the Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh), among others.
