Biography

J. Ariadhitya Pramuhendra

Born 13 Agustus 1984 , Semarang – Indonesia

I live in the third world country, Indonesia. As an artist, I always ask “who am I?” in the context of myself, religion, social and even in the art world constellation. The question and discussion therein, becoming the base of my works. The question that I believe will always become a discussion matter now and forever, “who am I?”

Art matters not only can be found out of ourself. I believe every matter, not only in art, begin from ourself. That is why I draw an image of me in most of my works. Face representing most from any other part of our body in a process of identification. All things that describe by myself, that’s self-portrait is.
