I NENGAH SUJENA Bangli, Bali, on 21 Januari 1976
Graduated from ISI Yogyakarta(2005)

Growing up in the agrarian region of Bali, within the neighborhood of Bali's one and only hospital for the mentally ill, Sujana Traveled to complete his studies in art at yogyakarta, where he choose to continue to live as an artist.
Sujena returned to his ancestral home in order to go back into his self. Forced to uproot from Yogyakarta by the July 2006 earthquake, he instead found a restlessness that greeted him day by day, he found that his work soon became a kind of self-therapy. Not familliar with meditation techniques, he chose to paint the Buddha as his meditation. Upon the canvas he provided space for a flower, his symbol of purity. A leaf is his symbol of peace, of the coolness one would feel under the canopy of a mountain forest. In the heat of an anxious moment, he would paint a leaf to refresh his mind.
Between anxiety attacks, he would find brief calm: quiet spaces of solitude filled with golden silence. It is to this tune that he would like his heart to sing, manifesting as strokes of fresh green and white, the occasional strong black or red, and accents of gold.
Still, like most of usm every day Sujena would have bouts of negative energy expressed in his feelings, emotions and thoughts. He chooses not to dwell on these because he believes that if we all harboured such dark thoughts, the world would be a terrible place.
Sujena himself is always surprised with the art that manifests upon his canvas, then Sujena paints everyday to keep his sanity.
