Kadek Marta Dwipayana Indonesian, b. 1991

Kadek Marta Dwipayana is a Balinese artist based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in pursuit of the endless modes of representation associated with abstract figurative art. 

 

Through years of artistic exploration of tools, materials and techniques, he developed his unique style of merging spontaneous brush strokes with a creative representation of the human body's plasticity. According to Kadek, this juxtaposition is meant to stimulate certain positive sensations and sentiments. His artwork also attracts curiosity and invokes emotion through obscure, mesmerizing and metaphorical ways typical to surrealism. 

 

Kadek believes in free and unrestrained spontaneous acts of creation which to him have the highest potential for innovation and ingenuity. 

 

He was shortlisted as a Finalist at the UOB Painting of the Year 2018 competition.
