Ayurika was born in 1996 in Grobogan (Central Java). She studied at Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI), Yogyakarta, interest in Fine Arts and lives in Yogyakarta.

Ayurika's paintings focus on the female body. The body is not presented naturally with a point of view or a distance that can create an impression of beauty, but as a very close reality as if we can enter it.

Ayurika's works present the reality of the body, not just an image of the body. This bodily reality challenges one in seeing the body as it really is, not idealize or mythify it. Body idealization or myth is usually related to the shape of a female body as an object of gaze or a discourse on beauty. On the other hand, bodily reality presents meaning, whether through experience of one's own body or another body. For Ayurika, the female body as a bodily reality can be mapped as a landscape full of signs, with dimensions of time and nature, such as the natural process of childbirth.

Ayurika wrote about this bodily reality: ''The perfect body is one with a smooth skin texture, well-proportioned, even symmetrical. If it is not smooth, non-proportional and asymmetrical the body will be seen as an odd number, incomplete or chipped and considered lack the value of its beauty.... Every inch of the human body can be interpreted as a language. Fold, wrinkles protrusion and so on form lines that turns into certain characters and signs that we often ignore. Unknowingly humans often ignore important aspects of seeing the body, namely historical, philosophical and spiritual meanings which make humans nowadays tend to be satisfied only with artificial beauty.''
