Nyoman Sujana (Kenyem)

Nyoman Sujana Kenyem was born on 9 September 1972 in Sayan, Ubud, Gianyar, Bali. He is one of few native painters of the Ubud area to have been able to distance themselves from the shackles of the local tradition. Like almost all the youth from his village of Sayan, Sujana Kenyem was first trained as an artist from the Young Artists na?ve tradition of nearby Penestanan. It is there, where he had learned to deal with the repetitive patterns compelled upon him by the then thriving Young Artist marked and, after entering The STSI School of Art in Denpasar, he shifted to abstraction. Then Kenyem¡¯s work develop to many series talk about nature, animal, human that conveys a message that a harmonious living amongst human, and human with nature is better kind of life.
