I was born in Bandung, Indonesia, 1982. I went to Fine Art Department, FSRD – Bandung Institute of Technology, in 2000, majoring Print making (Graphic art), and graduated in 2005. Since 2003, I started to be an independent artist. I became lecturer’s assistant in Print making Department on the same institute. And in print making field I’m work as an artist and as assistant in Tjidamar Printmaking House who’s founded by Devy Ferdianto and since 2004 till now I also became a program manager in Institute Gallery “Soemardja Gallery” who’s curated by Aminudin TH. Siregar “Ucok”
I studied a conventional way of print as the basic of the print making but my works in lately were more inter media and my work are dealing with the displaced feeling from the urban people who lived in the middle of modernism and globalization era, and my artistic research has been focusing in the relation between the body and the space in urban context. I started using other media beside printmaking like paintings, drawing, mix media, photography, video, digital print. To this present works.
It is important for me to state my artistic career not only as a personal track. Since 2003, I started working as part of project team. This included my participation as project facilitator, as artist, or both combination .In the December 2003 I’m and with another tenth young artist from Bandung founded an Art Group “Abstra-x” who have new vision of the style, who’s totally different from the mostly senior artist style look like before. And I have been working on different project-teams involving different team members, and the last project is involving in third Asia-Europe Art Camp who hosting by Bandung Center for New Media Art and ASEF. And now I continuing my study in HBK-Braunschweig Germany in Druckgraphick and Intermedia Art with prof. Friedemann von Stockhausen ( Printmaking, Photography, Film )
