About Artist

Born in Tabanan, 14 November 1951, Nuarta was brought up in the village by his “kelihan Adat” (Village Chief) uncle. He grew up very close to nature and learned the importance of guarding the harmony between human and The Creator, human with nature and human to human relationship (Tri Hita Kirana).Hence, most of his artworks reflect this very important Balinesse life philosophy.Nuarta’s professional career began when he was still a student of the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). He joined the “Gerakan Seni Rupa Baru Indonesia” (the Indonesian New Art Movement) in 1977 and actively participated in the group’s exhibitions.His name started to gain popularity after he won the Indonesia’s Proclamators Monument competition in 1979 just before he graduated from ITB. Nuarta was appointed to build the statue of Soekarno, Indonesia’s first president.Not long after, Nyoman Nuarta’s name began to rise to prominence and soon he confirmed his reputation as one of Indonesia’s foremost modern sculptor by creating numerous masterpieces and building monumental statue such as “Arjuna Wijaya” in Jakarta, the 60 meter tall “Jalesveva Jayamahe”, housed in the Naval base complex in Surabaya. In August 2018, he completed his most ambitious project the “Garuda Wisnu Kencana” monument in Bali which stands 121 m above the ground, marking it as the third tallest monument in the world.Nuarta’s contribution in arts and culture has been appreciated in many ways. He was awarded “Ganesha Widya Jasa Adiutama” in 2009 and 2018 by Bandung Institute of Technology, “Satyalancana Kebudayaan” in 2014 by the President of Indonesia, and received “Padma Award 2018” in Padma Shri category by the President of India in 2018.
