I Wayan Subudi Yadnyana, a.k.a Swoofone, was born in Denpasar in 1994.
He expresses himself through paintings, video mapping, multi-disciplined collaborations and more. Identified by his limited palette and design sensibility, he is an emerging artist with a definite and eye-catching style. Swoofone has confirmed his presence within the sphere of Balinese contemporary art.
“Initially, my designs grew from observing the landscape and traditional architecture. I was then attracted to the old European, Japanese and Indian architectural styles. I studied Balinese Hindu mythology and teachings that I wanted to translate,” said Swoofone, who also dedicates himself to helping organise local exhibitions. “The basis of my colour expression is Tri Datu: consisting of red, white and black representing the Balinese cycle of reincarnation. I like the limited colours. I want to explore the potential, and then maybe add other colours later.”
