Nadia Diandra
This artist from Yogyakarta Special Region started her career in 2011, when she was in high school. Since then, she has been actively participating in both collective and solo exhibitions.
In her creative process, Nadia often tells personal stories or things that are closest to her. Her works are presented through acrylic paint on canvas or experimental materials (such as fabric, thread, resin, etc.) that are collaged on canvas.
The color characteristics of her visuals are feminine, combining soft pastel and bold colors. Nadia wraps tales of happiness to juxtaposed somberness in her works with bright colors.

Reminiscing Romance (A Portrait)
50 x 50 cm
Acrylic on Canvas
2024
Exhibited in Flat Circle Stagnants
We only remember moments in our own way to
preserve those moments, we only see what we want
to see, we only remember what we want to
remember. Not exactly how they happened.
a Sentimental era
120 x 100 cm - Acrylic on Canvas - 2024
Exhibited in Closed Alpha Testing
Resuming her signature lightheartedness induced designs, this cuddly piece is first highlighting a tough & defensive exterior, one inescapably donned on the digital landscape despite the civility, common decency and altruism we still practice regularly on in-person encounters.
Continuing the duality are the reddish eyes on the costume that portray an emotional exhaustion and the flowery nature, seemingly longing for embrace that will stay halted as long as the short reach is maintained by the garment of the beast.

40 x 40 - Acrylic on Canvas - 2023 & 2022 (Raining Flowers)
Exhibited in OMG? RED! ^ D^ & Art Moments Bali
Nadia’s works has been known to intentionally juxtapose sadness and happiness in the same pieces. In the exhibition’s arrangement, the work Nyaring Bunyinya opens as it’s most reminiscent of an Indonesian proverb equivalent to “the empty barrel rings the loudest”, despite the moment shared followed by Batu Loncatan translates to Stepping Stone, depicts a quid pro quo situation.
Binding the piece is a flowery figure which has been the icon of her works, present in many before though never in multiplicity, present works included, making the piece feel introspective much as it could depict interpersonal like-minded individuals.The fourth piece Connecting People returns the festivity, with the quote of the artist “In the end, one fine line will connect us”. Ending the five with a cathartic downtime between the two figures, fittingly titled “Good Pool”, evoking a metaphorical pool of people.
