Divayana
I am Putu Divayana, and I am from Ubud, specifically from the village of Sayan. I am a realist or contemporary realist painter and a graduate of ISI Denpasar. In my work, I draw much of my inspiration from events or things happening around me, and often from my personal anxieties as well. I frequently look to contemporary realist artists as references for creating my art, as I enjoy the realism style but also seek innovation in my work. The artist I have admired for a long time is Raden Saleh, who sparked my interest in romanticism connected to realism. However, in my own work, I am more inspired by Chusin Setiadikara and several younger artists like Andreyoga and Darmika Solar.
