Born in Peliatan, Ubud, 1945, After graduated from elementary school, he learned painting under the guidance of I Ketut Djodjol from Tebesaya. He once transmigrated to South Sumatra, but his artist talent is stronger than his choice as a farmer. Through his knowledge in art, he ventured his own style. Now, Kasta works evidently show his characteristic and became  an important element of Balinese traditional art scene.

 

His subjects lingered around the daily life of Bali such as the market scene, legong dance, barong, women doing bebanten or weaving cili-cili, all illustrated meticulously. His figures were drawn in wayang’s anatomy of elongated hands and feet in slender body. The impression of his figure is innocent. Some of his pupils are I Ketut Sundra, Ida Bagus Sugata, I Wayan Loni, and also his son, I Made Sudiarta. Kasta works are exhibited in Bali, Jakarta, Singapore, an various European cities.
