The Nyaman Narrative

01

Art to us;

Is an invitation to experience joy, a gateway to memories, a liberation into realms unknown, and the thrill of uncharted ideas. At Nyaman Gallery, we are committed to bringing this experience to life, showcasing artists whose visions transcend the canvas, inviting personal connections that resonate deeply with each viewer.

02

Home

A curated selection of Indonesian and global creators. Our gallery is a testament to the beauty that thrives in diversity, all under the enchanting influence of Bali’s vibrant life. Embracing the concept of ‘Nyaman’ the Indonesian essence of comfort, we embody this warmth and familiarity. ‘Nyaman’ is more than a name; it reflects a dedication to authenticity and the cherished feeling of being at home, surrounded by truth and beauty.

By supporting our artists closely, we honor our role as custodians of their creative expression, ensuring that the journey from creation to audience is as rich and meaningful as the art itself.

The Artists

Our proud register of creatives

QUINT

Street art to art spectacle
Quint's artistic journey is a testament to his passion for urban expression. With a lifelong affinity for art, it was the vibrant allure of street art that truly captured his imagination. Carrying his distinctive stencil and spray paint, he ventured to Bali and swiftly became a trailblazer in the island's burgeoning street art community. The figures that emerge from Quint's spray paint—a cadre of women exuding a fierce femininity against the starkness of concrete—stand as intimate portraits of his close friends. Their defiant gazes and playful smirks serve as a subtle jest at the authorities, a nod to Quint's elusive artistry in the urban landscape. His process is meticulous: four layers of intricate stencils, each carefully hand-cut, even when adorning large facades. Quint's art, a symphony of striking female figures, animals, and florals, serves as a visual oasis in the bustling streets of Bali, a call to discover the beauty that surrounds us. Now, Quint's signature art transcends boundaries, leaving its indelible mark not only on the streets of Canggu and Seminyak but also across global creative epicenters like Tokyo, Paris, and Berlin. His works are a reminder that art can be a dialogue between the artist and the urban canvas, a narrative that continues to unfold in cities around the world.

YOKII

Bali bound Australian artist
YOKII is a Bali bound Australian artist whose larger than life works can be found all over the island. His love for art started early in life. After being introduced to silkscreen as a means of creation, there was no turning back for YOKII. Inspired by the eccentric aesthetic of the 80s skate and surf cultures, YOKII began using t-shirts as canvases for his artistic expression and hasn't stopped innovating new ways that continue to push the boundaries on what can be done with the silkscreen technique. In addition to his prowess in silkscreen art, YOKII creates artworks that tackle the most challenging of mediums, from various fabrics, papers, walls, natural sand, to the antique teak wood doors that he transforms into art that's brimming with life. Each of YOKII's experimentations with various mediums continue to build his repertoire of creative solutions that produce the type of intriguing, one-of-a-kind artworks which draw the attention of art lovers from all over the world.

L.FAUZI

Surrealist
Considered a philosopher who's language is not through writing but through paint. A self-taught artist from a small town in East Java, Fauzi illustrates the vulnerability of human life through his portrayal of delicate everyday objects, which seeks to recontextualize the ordinary into the profound. He creates surreal shapes and shapes surreal stories born out of his balanced mind and refined talent. Fauzi’s lines are gentle and steady, his shades of grey blend seamlessly to create a strange and calming coolness. The surreal paintings of L. Fauzi invite voyeurs into the bizarre world of his childhood as it was informed by his complex relationship with his father. Fauzi conveys complex issues in politics, the economy and philosophy that have been filtered through a deeply personal lens that transpires an elegance in the life lessons he learns and embodies. A traditionalist in art and in life, Fauzi does not engage in social media or the internet, and chooses to instead shape his worldview through more intimate channels of information such as direct observations as well as news reports from television and newspapers.

YOGA RAHARJA

The archipelago captured
Yoga's artistry in photography emerges from a blend of cultural depth and personal interests. As a Javanese artist with an appreciation for Metallica and a command of French, he brings a unique perspective to his work. Photography, for Yoga, is a storytelling medium, revealing the depth of ordinary moments and inviting a fresh appreciation for them. For Yoga, the camera is an instrument to unearth the subtle narratives of the day-to-day, urging viewers to find beauty in the overlooked corners of life. He guides us through a visual odyssey of Indonesia’s soul: the solemnity of age-old ceremonies, the adrenaline of traditional bull races, the vibrant buzz behind the scenes of concerts and festivals, and the serene expanses of the nation’s landscapes. Light is Yoga's alchemist, masterfully harnessed to sculpt the emotions, expressions, and moments he etches onto film. His work is not just seen—it's felt, inviting a journey into the essence of each captured instance.

EVGENY BAM

The essence of Bali, drawn
Drawn by Bali’s renowned surf scene and culture, the Russian artist and illustrator, Evgeny Bam, first came to Bali in 2010 and has made it his home ever since. Nature quickly became one of Bam’s greatest inspirations, both creatively and spiritually. His art resembles the waves of the Canggu surf, both in form and feeling. His lines, drawn and painted loosely and sometimes quickly, leans heavily on the artist’s personal intuition. As he transitioned from the fast, impulse-driven sensibilities of street art, into more introspective mediums like canvas and paper, the extended moment of joy that the artist is able to bask in as he paints is reflected in his later works. Creating on canvas and papers allows Bam to pause in contemplation between strokes, carefully considering and exploring the different perspectives to add to his rich visuals. In his latest body of work, Bam makes use of rambunctious colors and shapes as his way to speak on how modern society often lacks sensuality – something he considers to be one of life’s greatest essentials.

STEPHAN KOTAS

Varied techniques, photographic excellency
Originally from Prague, Stephan Kotas left home to wander the world from a young age and found his way to Indonesia, where he received a scholarship to study Indonesian Literature and Art at the Yogyakarta State University. Kotas initially immersed himself in photography as a way of documenting his love of traveling, and over time began to develop a keen eye and approach to photography in which he dives fully into each step in the pre-production process, execution, and final delivery of the work. He values the meticulous work and planning that go into capturing the perfect shot--preferring to play with in-camera tricks and lighting over digital manipulations done in post--creating works of art with a distinctively stylish point of view. Stephan's latest accomplishment is his recreation of the tintype photography technique, making him one of the first in Bali to successfully do so extensively. The beautiful vintage look of the photographs do not come easily; the wet-plate collodion process is known to be one of the most complicated photography techniques. Each image is processed directly on the ambrotype or aluminum plates, and requires the photographic material to be coated, sensitized, exposed and developed within the span of around 10 minutes, making it necessary to work in a portable darkroom to use in the field. Prior to making the images, the photographer must mix his own liquid solution to coat the photographic material and ensure that the plate remains wet throughout the development process or the image will not appear. The chemical solution will then react to UV light to produce images with a distinct look that is unlike others. His tintype photography is an homage to the manual processes of the past that he feels can be celebrated more in our increasingly digital world.
