Nawwar Shukriah Ali

Nawwar Shukriah Ali, also known as Bono Stellar, is an art director and designer-turned-multidisciplinary artist based in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.The Kuala Terengganu-born artist makes art out of iridescent films and plexiglass but her true materials are light and space. In her body of work spanning drawings, installations, and photography, Bono merges references to art history, her experience, and personal reflections on her past, present and future. 

Working primarily with iridescent films, mirrors and plexiglass, her goal is to create work which appeals to the imagination and the senses, abandoning fidelity to the visible world in favour of exploring abstractions in truth and transparencies.

She is also the founder of Make It Happen, a platform to support local Malaysian creatives.
