Her artistic practice moves her to intensely observe the daily glories in her surrounding environment in Yogyakarta - from rugged mountains to sprawling fields, which eternally change depending on the time of day. Yet, Dini expresses the natural environment she sees everyday in a fresh, evocative way, forming textured, vividly colored landscapes comprised of myriad small disks made out of synthetic clay. She uses her medium to portray how each captured moment, from dawn to dusk, exists in her memory—and even in frozen pictures— only in fragments, pixels. Veering away from painting a complete, fixed image, Dini’s landscapes encourage one to become fully immersed in the subtleties of the present, knowing that the wonders of every moment can never be truly recreated. Dini Nur Aghnia studied at the Institut Seni Indonesia in Yogyakarta. She has exhibited both locally and regionally, in Yogyakarta, Solo, Gresik, Surabaya, Singapore and Malaysia.

Dini Nur Aghnia turns her gaze to the wider landscapes of her surrounding environment and the unique, ephemeral wonders underlying in each moment in the day from dawn to dusk. Using the unorthodox clay medium to create vividly colored disks that fill her canvases, she offers a fresh and contemporary way to express romantic landscapes.
