Adytria Negara

Lives and works in Bandung, Indonesia | Born 1995

About

Adytria Negara explores two-dimensional aesthetics through the medium of painting, focusing on the subtle relationship between depiction, perception, and material presence. Through precise and realistic depictions of arranged ubiquitous objects, his works reconsider the boundaries between what is seen and what is understood—between an image’s existence and the reality it evokes. His practice opens a reflective space to question when a depiction ceases to represent and begins to become, tracing how perception and illusion shape the way we experience the world of things.

Selected group exhibitions include Art Jakarta 2025 with ara contemporary, Jakarta, Indonesia (2025); STEM Show 7, STEM Projects, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (2025); and Senang Bersamamu, Selasar Sunaryo Art Space, Bandung, Indonesia (2025).
