BIOGRAPHY:
Born in Peliatan, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, 1945.After graduated from elementary school, he learned painting under the guidance of I Ketut Djodjol from Tebesaya. Kasta works evidently show his characteristic and became an important element of Balinese traditional art scene. His subjects lingered around the daily life of Bali such as the market scene, legong dance barong, women doing bebanten or weaving cili-cili: all illustrated meticulously. His figures were drawn in wayang's anatomy of elongated hands and feet in slender body. The impression of his figure is innocent. Some of his pupils are I Ketut Sundra, Ida Bagus Sugata, I wayan Joni and also his son, I Made Sudiarta. His works are exhibited in Bali, Jakarta, Singapore and various European cities.
