ABOUT MONIMEL

Monimel is a mixed-media artist from Indonesia who began her artistic journey at a young age. She started drawing at five years old and later explored oil painting on canvas at fourteen under the guidance of her father. However, due to the political situation in her country in 1998, she was unable to formally study art, though she remained engaged in creative activities.

In 2015, she established a souvenir business, which eventually closed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. By early 2021, she returned to her artistic path through NFTs, where she continues to actively create and share her work.

​

Deeply involved in the international art community, Monimel leverages her entrepreneurial and organizational experience to support emerging Indonesian artists, serving as a bridge between them and the global art world. One of her notable achievements was co-organizing the Bali Art Space with Metarupa and Tez Town in 2024.

​

Her artworks often reflect stories of life experiences, childhood memories, and imaginative fantasies drawn from her observations. Growing up as an introvert, Monimel found it difficult to express her personal experiences through words, instead channeling them into her art. While she enjoys working with oil paints, her creative process embraces a wide range of materials, blending unique elements into her compositions. This passion for mixed media was inspired by her father, who was also an artist with a deep love for creativity and innovation.
