Ainur Kaheqsi

(1999)

AINUR KAHEQSI (b. 1999) is a visual artist and printmaker based in Yogyakarta. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art, majoring in Printmaking, from the Indonesia Institute of the Arts (ISI) Surakarta (2017–2022), and is currently completing her Master’s degree in Fine Art Creation at the Postgraduate Program of ISI Yogyakarta (2023–2025). Her practice stems from an exploration of everyday experiences as a space for self-reflection, focusing on simple objects, domestic activities, and slowed rhythms of life as a response to the pressures of modernity. Through printmaking and mixed media approaches—combining print techniques, photography, installation, and everyday materials—she emphasizes simplicity of form, traces of process, and the involvement of body and time in constructing meaning. Her works have been presented in various exhibitions in Yogyakarta, Surakarta, and Jakarta, and she was awarded 1st Prize at the Prabangkara Award in 2020.
