So Quiet

Studio Friday: Changing Names


I'd like to keep my real name, Hima. Why? I simply feel comfortable with my name. It tells about me, the Himalaya mountains, cold - white - quiet - yet colorful :-)

My Colorful Heart

Studio Friday: Studio Indulgences


My art-studio is located by the balcony. I enjoy the sunlight and Jakarta sky which is seldom blue.

I made this piece on a magazine page in Hebrew. My good Israeli friend brought the magazines from Tel Aviv. The magazine has different style and 'atmosphere'. This looks so beautiful and flowery. In fact, my view is not so colorful but my heart is..

Reborn HUG

Studio Friday: I am (Inter-)connected!


Dear Art-friends,

I feel reborn today… errr I mean I make a comeback after exactly one month vacuum. Simply because it’s been out of my routine; I didn’t see the mess, I was not in touch with the art atmosphere,..

I check blucolage last night and your messages have touched me. It inspired me to start doing collage again. So I prepared my art mess this morning. I felt good after finished this first collage. Ya, I should do it again.

Nothing serious about this piece although it includes ‘craziness’. Simply because I haven’t had the patience to browse more magz pages for ideas and the moon has caught my attention more. The ‘statement’ just adds the ‘nice message’ about art as one canal to go outside of hectic world. Ya?

I messed it tho. I forgot the trick to glue well, I broke her neck hoo hoo.. I decided to expose it instead of trying to hide. Enjoy! :-)

DAW, MBO, Belinha, Mauricio, Robyn, and many other art-friends;
I appreciate your care. Hugs.

Plug Into Ubud Art

Studio Friday: TOOT YOUR OWN HORN... LOUD!


I’m born in a family where many relatives are professional artists. I shared about my family in Your Creativity Roots challenge – Blu Spotlight.

I run two art shops in Jakarta and Ubud – center of art in Bali. That’s canal of my art, through my eyes. I only started to make collage three months ago. I like this form of art. It suits my ‘span of attention’ and time. I’m thinking to do more serious collage using stuffs I found in junk shop or.. my house. I have started but stopped after five artworks. Please check my tresor trové.

Today I’m leaving for Ubud to participate in Ubud Writers and Readers Festival for five days. I would plug into Ubud art..
