Alma Negrot

Alma Negrot is a multifaceted Indonesian artist whose practice spans performance, makeup artistry, visual art, and video. Born and raised in Jakarta, Negrot’s work is deeply influenced by her cultural heritage, fluidly weaving together elements of traditional Indonesian art forms with subversive, avant-garde aesthetics. Renowned for her dramatically stylized makeup and body adornments, she transforms herself into living sculptures that interrogate identity, beauty norms, and the boundaries between art and life.

Negrot’s performances often blend ritual, fantasy, and androgynous spectacle, challenging audiences with their unapologetic embrace of transformation and the grotesque. Her visual works and videos have been exhibited at galleries and festivals across Asia, Europe, and the United States, where she is celebrated for her fearless originality and commitment to destabilizing the mainstream gaze. Through her practice, Alma Negrot continues to expand the possibilities of self-expression, making her a singular and vital voice in contemporary art.
