Interview with Kadek Yuliantono

Where are you from and how does that affect your work?
I’m from Banjar Lumpang, Sukawati. Being Balinese deeply influences my work, as art is not just my profession but my way of life. The traditional art culture of Bali, including themes like pewayangan (puppets) and modern life, plays a major role in shaping my paintings and statues.
Who are your biggest artistic influences?
My work is influenced by traditional Balinese painting styles from Ubud, Batuan, and Kamasan. I incorporate elements such as the anatomy from Ubud styles and classic coloring from Kamasan, along with Balinese cloth patterns.
How do you define success as an artist?
Success for me is being able to create art that reflects both tradition and contemporary life while supporting myself and my family through my work. It also means promoting my work to a wider society.
How do you develop your art skills?
I develop my skills by combining traditional and modern art techniques. I take inspiration from classic painting styles and adapt them into contemporary pieces.
Describe your dream project.
My dream project would involve creating more contemporary adaptations of traditional statues, especially focusing on statues meant for worship, known as pretima, using modern materials and techniques.
What is the main inspiration behind your latest artwork?
The main inspiration behind Satya Redaya is Balinese literature and mythology, which I explore through a contemporary lens.
Is there a specific theme or message that you want to convey through your artwork?
I aim to depict the harmony between tradition and modernity, showing that ancient themes can still resonate in today’s world.
How would you describe your creative process? Is there a special technique or medium that you use?
My creative process involves adapting traditional Balinese themes into contemporary formats, whether through painting or statue-making. I use concrete for my statues and focus on precise detailing in both my paintings and sculptures.
How do you overcome challenges in creating art?
I overcome challenges by drawing strength from my heritage and continually experimenting with new techniques and materials to stay motivated.
As an artist, what is your favorite quote?
I don’t have a specific favorite quote, but I firmly believe in creating your own path, staying true to tradition while embracing the present.
