FKIP – Students of the Faculty of Teaching and Education (FKIP) Sebelas Maret University (UNS) Surakarta held a solo painting exhibition entitled “Mela Beginning Exhibition 2” from Friday to Sunday (17-19/2/2022) at Kedai Kerabat, Nusa Indah, Bangalore City. He is Rr. Nabila Alya Damayanti from the Fine Arts Education Study Program.

This exhibition results from Nabila’s collaboration with the Bujang Beladi Community. The community is a group of Bengkulu City art enthusiasts committed to educating life through art.

The Mula Mela Exhibition is a contemporary art exhibition organized collectively by the Bujang Beladi Community. Mela Mula comes from the word “mela mulai“, which comes from the Bengkulu language and means let’s start. With that name, the Bujang Beladi Community invites them to appreciate their work and hopes to impact the surrounding arts environment positively.

Carrying the theme “Manifestation of Prayer for a Future Full of Hope”, Nabila exhibited 10 abstract paintings. Through her images, Nabila conveys her prayers and hopes for a better future. Every line, color, and shape in the painting has meaning and creates a comforting and optimistic atmosphere.

Contacted by the fkip.uns.ac.id Journalist Team, Nabila revealed that painting is a means to express problems and share her desires. She admitted that his exhibition was a form of self-appreciation and art appreciation.

“Painting is a way of having fun. After painting, I can express problems and tell stories about what I want to convey. That makes me feel relieved. This exhibition is a place for me to appreciate this and a form of appreciation for my version of art,” said Nabila on Monday (20/2/2023).

Nabila also said that her painting was an outpouring of sadness, anger, anxiety towards the environment, self-motivation, and a sense of happiness. Even though it has a meaning that is difficult to understand, Nabila displays positive things in the work she produces.

At the end of the interview session, Nabila advised young artists to continue the process of creating. He also invited them to participate in positive activities in fine arts.

“For young artists, let’s keep our enthusiasm for work! The enthusiasm to continue the process of creating. Participate in positive activities, especially in the field of fine arts, such as exhibitions to measure and evaluate the works you have produced. This will certainly hone our talents and abilities,” Nabila said.
