Agus Putu Suyadnya

Agus Putu Suyadnya is an Indonesian artist based in Yogyakarta, whose work is a profound reflection of lived experiences. Through his art, Agus opens a conversation about the meaning of existence as humans by incorporating content that triggers our awareness of ourselves, such as technology and nature. By using realist techniques with a surrealist approach, Agus explores his poetic imagination.

His most recent series features figures in space suits, which emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic as symbols of isolation, self, and the search for meaning. Through his dreamlike compositions, Agus transforms art into a space for imagination, simulation, and contemplation, inviting viewers to engage in conversations about existence and humanity.
