Nini Marini Ramlan’s studio is just as you would imagine an artist’s creative space to look like – filled with brightly-coloured works in various mediums, with painting tools taking up corner spaces and paint splatters forming a masterpiece of their own on the black and white checkered floor tiles.

The multi-artist herself is a commanding presence, sashaying around the space in a colourful kaftan from her Malaysiana collection, enthusiastically explaining the ideas behind her newest weavings and paintings, and showing us the artworks produced by her five-year-old students.
