Urubingwaru's art practice straddles the line between visuals and storytelling; using fiction and other literary methods to expand upon themes which relate to history, myth, and identity. Currently he works in a range of mediums: drawing, painting, installation, performance and interactive public art. He has exhibited nationally since 2019, and in 2020 he was awarded the Bronze Pekan Seni Mahasiswa Nasional Award (PEKSIMNAS), awarded by the National Achievement Center.
