Biography
Gusti Udiantara
I Gusti Udiantara, Black Space #1, 2024, Acrylic on canvas, 145 × 120 cm

I usually get my inspiration to create an artwork from my surroundings, usually from my culture as a Balinese. There are a lot of traditional and religious rituals. They are the source of my inspiration

Born in 1976, in Tampaksiring, Gianyar, Bali, Indonesia, Gusti Udiantarabegan his art career by studying fine arts at the Indonesian Institute of Art (ISI) in Yogyakarta (1996-2006). 
 
The artist says about his works: "I usually get my inspiration to create an artwork from my surroundings, usually from my culture as a Balinese.There are a lot of traditional and religious rituals. They are the source of my inspiration. After I get my idea, I make a sketch and discuss it with my fellow artists until my idea is ready to be translated into an artwork”.
 
Most of Gusti Udiantara's works are called “Infinity Line”, in which, as the artist says, “here I emphasize how I paint the lines, treat the lines, those the lines, give effects to the lines, so it's all related to the lines, starting from the Balinese tradition, which looks for the beginning of a generation, the origin of civilization and culture: in fact the things that we are doing, were done by those who came before us. Like the line that has already determined us.”
