Utin has always been interested in the limit between dream and reality. Her works explore enigmatic situations. The image of a woman’s face, for example, brings about a drifted feeling not unlike ecstasy. Her art focuses on modern sensuality, making it appealing to both men and women.

Utin believes that the media has enabled non- mainstream artists like herself to showcase their work more readily and gain due recognition at an early stage of their career. She also relies on the accessibility of the media and enjoys its seemingly endless connections. This in turn influences much of her paintings.

Utin’s work is also testament to an innate wild side, as she has the unique ability to relay certain emotions and feelings that are for most, cautiously hidden, through her paintings. They stir up feelings of awe and even lust and this is what Utin aims to invoke from her audience.

She has collected numerous awards from her work in her homeland and even from abroad. In 2001, she won best printmaking artist at the Indonesian Arts Institute in Yogyakarta. The following year, she was one of the few selected artists for the Phillip Morris Indonesian Art Awards.

More recently, Utin has been focusing on exhibitions to promote her art. In 2008, she was part of a group exhibition at the Arsip Musuem in Jakarta.
