I Wayan Santrayana
An artist born on September 29, 1965, in Marga District, Tabanan. Raised in a humble and modest family, Santrayana has always carried a deep passion for the arts—be it music, dance, theater, or painting.
His deep love for tradition and culture, combined with a critical mind toward nature and the world, often stirred unease within him. For him, Arie Smit (Adrianus Wilhelmus Smit) was a figure who could carry the message of tradition into the modern era. The restlessness he found hard to express in words, he captured carefully on his canvases.
To this day, Santrayana continues to channel his restlessness through his bold and powerful works, following past exhibitions—both group and solo—held in Indonesia and abroad.
I Wayan Santrayana expresses his voice and dedicates his life to Balinese culture and nature in his studio: in Batubulan, Gianyar-Bali: Mayarupa Santrayana Art Space.

Maya Rupa
"Maya" and "Rupa" comes from the words maya, meaning absence or illusion, and rupa, meaning form. Maya Rupa is the manifestation of a wild and liberated mind, capable of transforming a form into a new perception, shaped by the traces of experience stored within one’s subconscious.
Marginal Life
Marginal Life is constructed from the perspective of Balinese society in the 1980s, when the government’s tourism program entered the spaces of social life. This intersection created a collision that reconfigured the order of living: values shifted toward hedonism, the gap of inequality widened, poverty grew, and parts of the community were pushed to the margins, living a marginalized existence.
Karya Limbah
Giving life to “inanimate objects,” bringing value to things once neglected. An initial step toward environmental awareness: a space where everyone can contribute, and where the works created become both witnesses and a source of inspiration.
