Artwork of Nining Muir

Nining Muir works in a variety of media, and her subject matter is too diverse to somehow round it up. From abstract patterns to monochrome nudes, from California poppies to landscapes of the inner mind, and from bold colorful surreal compositions to subtle political statements, Muir seems to be open to any idea, influence, and inspiration, while retaining her original self in all her representations. Her Indonesian heritage is reflected in her art as well as her contemporary Californian lifestyle. She paints in oil and acrylics with wide, physical brushstrokes, but also creates delicate transparent watercolors on paper, and constructs elaborate digital images, layered with meanings. Muir—a strong believer in modest living and an avid world traveler, supported by her husband, Richard Muir, a writer, in her beliefs, is all about art. She likes to say that not being tied to children, pets, or possessions, she feels constantly on the go, and is always open to creating new art.
