Artist Profile

 

Kathmandu, Nepal. 2018

Murni Mo Selle is a Singapore-based multidisciplinary visual artist and marketing and communications consultant. Her creative journey spans across live visuals, film, sound, photography, and digital media, grounded in a deep commitment to social advocacy and artistic expression.

Murni first gained recognition as a VJ at the legendary Ministry of Sound (2006–2008) and went on to contribute to various television productions (2008–2012) and award-winning advertising campaigns. Her background blends commercial excellence with artistic integrity, reflecting her unique ability to navigate both corporate and creative worlds.

Art remains at the heart of Murni’s identity. Her return to personal creative practice was a deliberate act of self-preservation, a way to reclaim purpose and voice. Today, her work explores urgent social themes, including identity, gender, ecological awareness, the social divide, and the protection of indigenous communities.

Her work has been exhibited locally and internationally. Notable group exhibitions include:

  • Pushing Paper: Contemporary Drawing from 1970 to Now (2020), Oriental Museum, Durham University, UK

  • Z-Axis (2009), PAVED Arts, Saskatoon, Canada
