I Made Griyawan

I Made Griyawan is a Balinese artist and the founder of Studio Gelombang, an alternative space where children can share knowledge about art in Batuan Village, Bali. He is grateful to be a family member of his father, the painter I Wayan Taweng. Growing up, he developed a passion for drawing from childhood and began learning to draw around the age of 7. His learning process has been self-taught rather than scholarly, yet his art is quite original, stemming from both conscious and unconscious efforts as he pursued the question,'Who am I?' These experiences reflect his identity.

I Made Griyawan adalah seorang seniman Bali dan pendiri Studio Gelombang, sebuah ruang alternatif di mana anak-anak dapat berbagi pengetahuan tentang seni di Desa Batuan, Bali. Ia bersyukur menjadi bagian dari keluarga ayahnya, pelukis I Wayan Taweng. Sejak kecil, ia menumbuhkan kecintaan terhadap menggambar dan mulai belajar menekuninya di sekitar usia 7 tahun. Proses belajarnya lebih bersifat otodidak daripada akademik, namun seninya begitu orisinal, muncul dari usaha sadar dan tidak sadar ketika ia mengejar pertanyaan, "Siapa saya?" Pengalaman-pengalaman ini mencerminkan identitasnya.
