Artist
Ingrid Putri
“I once borrowed illustrations from old magazines to create collages and craft myown visual stories. Now, I draw my own and letting the vibrant life of a place I live inbecome my favorite living art moodboard.”
My work explores the tension and harmony between where I come from and where I am now,reflecting on the evolving meaning of home. Living and traveling far from my home countryhas allowed me to reconsider differences I once struggled with, shaping an identity that is nolonger bound to a single culture, but enriched by many.Plants and people are central to my practice as recurring muses; both living, dynamic, and inconstant states of transformation. Through them, I explore ideas of growth, adaptation,connection, and belonging.
My artwork is personal and intimate, rooted in observations oflife and translated through a visual language that draws from memory, experience, andcultural encounters.I use vibrant and varied color palettes to define the lines and forms within my drawings,reflecting the layers of cultures I have experienced. At times, these influences convergewithin a single frame, creating visual relationships that speak to coexistence, mutual respect,and the complexity of belonging to more than one place.Through painting, illustration, and collectible pieces, my practice becomes a space forstorytelling, collective memory, and cultural reflection; where the personal intersects with theshared, and everyday experiences become a way of exploring broader questions of identityand connection
