Nani Puspasari is a Chinese Indonesian visual artist in Melbourne (Naarm), Australia. She immigrated to Australia in 2008, studied design at Swinburne University in 2008, and graduated from RMIT (Master of Fine Art) in 2010. Nani's multi-disciplinary practice encompasses various forms of art, including painting, illustration, installation, and ceramic sculpture. 

Her art practice explores the narratives between childhood memories, identity, migration, and cultural hybridity in contemporary life, aiming to communicate feelings of innocence, anxiety, loss, and sorrow. She is inspired by the vibrant colours and intricate patterns of traditional Asian art, as well as the bold, expressive forms of Western art. She is interested in how different cultural values and beliefs can either clash or complement each other and impact our sense of self and belonging.

She was awarded Sculpture Highly Commended for the 2023 Hornsby Art Prize, a finalist in the 2023 Muswellbrook Art Prize (Ceramic), the 2023 TRAILS Sculpture Prize, and The Korea-Australia Arts Foundation Prize in 2021.
