Yuda Bento
I Gusti Ngurah Agung Yuda Putra or Yudabento, commonly known as Yuda or Bento, is a visual artist, illustrator and graphic designer from Petang, Badung, Bali. During his childhood, he frequently accompanied his grandfather, a Balinese building architect, particularly during his work on creating merajan (Balinese temples). This involvement led him to assist in painting merajan, employing techniques like the straddle method and various other painting approaches, marking the emergence of his artistic inclination, especially in visual arts. Yuda is incredibly influenced by artists such as Brock Hofer, Brian Allen, Pedro Correa, WD Willy, Raka Jana, etc.

There isn’t a special technique. I use common techniques that many other artists and illustrators use.
