Wayan Sarcita Yasa, known as Sarcita, is an emerging artist from Tabanan Bali. Sarcita is currently a student at the Indonesian Art Institute, Yogyakarta, and an alumnus of SMK N 1 Sukawati (SMSR).
As a young, melancholic artist, he incorporates many fundamental matters of life into his works, using it as a means of self-reflection. His surrealist pop style playfully counters the tone of his often-sombre narrative, with the examination of the plethora of human experience remaining the chief creative focus for Sarcita and the continuing unfolding of work.
The artist states, “Art is a vehicle for processing feelings and thoughts from various experiences. It is influenced by the surrounding environment which encourages a person to present or describe a range of feelings. I examine daily habits in the home and everyday life from my own personal experience, whether it’s feelings of joy or sadness, or the many expressions that I show in spatial language.”
The artist has participated in numerous exhibitions in his native Indonesia and is the recipient of several emerging artist awards including at the Taman Tino Sidin Art Museum in Yogyakarta.
