Siam Candra Artista (born in 1995, Indonesia) is a visual artist who graduated from the Fine Art Department at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Yogyakarta. He actively creates works using acrylic and drawing techniques, and also experiments with art installations.

Inspired by pop art, lowbrow art, traditional decorative art, and illustration concepts, Siam’s artworks explore themes of nostalgia, past memories, and personal introspection—often intertwined with social phenomena in the age of digital media. He believes that everyone carries stories, experiences, and memories that can be meaningful not only to themselves but also to others. Through his works, Siam seeks to build emotional connections with audiences by evoking memories and everyday narratives.

One of the central themes in Siam’s work is “Unity”, which he interprets as a form of love and compassion that can grow out of both similarities and differences—whether in personality, background, or artistic media. For Siam, a great work of art emerges from the process of adapting to and connecting deeply with one’s chosen materials. He critically reflects on how Indonesian society often glorifies differences without emphasizing the importance of unity. Through his message of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity), Siam invites us not only to recognize diversity but also to celebrate togetherness. He believes that by embracing love and mutual respect, our differences can inspire artworks that are whole, meaningful, and powerful.

Siam Candra Artista has participated in several group exhibitions, including “Katarsis” at Redbase Foundation, Yogyakarta (2018), “Redefining Chapter” at Redbase Foundation, Yogyakarta (2018), and a group exhibition at Jogja National Museum, Yogyakarta (2014).
