Marisa Mu
Marisa Mu is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice centers figurative watercolor and painting as a space for radical visibility, tenderness, and self determination. Based between Melbourne and New York, Mu explores queer expression, intersectional feminism, the Asian diaspora, and body liberation through intimate works that foreground embodied presence and joy.
Grounded in lived experience as a queer woman of color, Mu approaches representation as both inquiry and refusal, using the figure to hold complexity rather than stereotype. Her paintings often celebrate liberated bodies in motion, pairing softness and immediacy with a clear political charge around agency, pleasure, and belonging.
