Made Wiradana

The past can never disappear from human consciousness. It will always effect human culture whether scientifically, mystically, religiously or artistically. Made Wiradana meditates on the prehistoric consciousness in his paintings. Born in Denpasar on 27 October 1968, he is aware that "Prehistory has a tremendous Niskala (unseen) power, as well as having its own particular beauty". Wiradana is a graduated of ISI Yogyakarta and has participated in exhibitions since 1989. He had a successful solo exhibition in Yogyakarta in November 1999. Wiradana often uses animals as his subject matter. The distorted shapes of these creatures present their own unique beauty and are typical of his works.
