Siam Candra Artista was born in 1995 in Indonesia. He graduated from the Fine Art Department at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Yogyakarta.
Siam Candra Artista works primarily with acrylic, drawing, and installation, drawing inspiration from pop art, lowbrow aesthetics, and traditional decorative elements. His practice explores nostalgia, personal memory, and social reflection in the age of digital media. Central to his work is the theme of unity—interpreted as an expression of love and compassion that transcends difference. Through everyday narratives and emotional connections, he invites viewers to reflect on shared experiences and the potential for togetherness in a fragmented world.
In 2018, Siam participated in the group exhibitions Katarsis and Redefining Chapter at Redbase Foundation, Yogyakarta. His earlier works were also featured in a group exhibition at Jogja National Museum in 2014.
We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.
