Zita Nuella

Zita Nuella (b. Indonesia, 1998), affectionately known by

her initial Z, is an artist based in Bandung. A graduate

of interior design, her art career is nurtured through her

participation in the artist incubation program, AMP –

Atreyu Moniaga Project #12: Ad Maiora (2024).

Through a deeply embodied process, Zita Nuella

transforms the quiet turbulence of lived experience into

abstract compositions grounded in gesture, memory,

and sensation. Working with pastels and oil, her practice

exists as both a refuge and a reckoning—a space

between inner and outer worlds. Nuella approaches

the canvas as one might approach silence: tenderly,

attentively, and without resistance. Her works arise from

an intimate choreography between body and emotion,

giving form to vulnerability, transience, and the quiet

bravery of presence. In her words and in her practice,

painting is not separate from life—it is how she listens

to it.
