Citra Sasmita
Artist

Citra Sasmita was born in Tabanan in 1990, has been in touch with the art world since young through books and comics she read. Her hobby then inspires her to write poems, short stories, and paint figures from her imagination. Having educational background in humanities and science, Citra enrolled in two different departments, English Literature and Physics. These two field of knowledge affect her work process in analyzing social phenomenon and viewing it rationally.

Citra paints on a variety of mediums, ranging from canvas to leather. In her solo exhibition titled Under the Skin (2018), she created an installation consisted of vegetable fibers that had been woven together. Her work represents a braid of human hair in which she incorporated mythical reference from the story of Drupadi in epic of Mahabharata to symbolize female resistance in the face of ongoing efforts to suppress women.

In Ode to The Sun, the third part of the Timur Merah Project that Citra previously presented in Biennale Jogja XV 2019, she criticizes the world of traditional Balinese literature which has historically confined itself to celebrate the exploits of male aristocrats while excluding female voices. Invoking a Balinese past characterized by the existence of powerful female rulers such as the 19th century queen, Dewa Istri Kanya, Citra transforms classic narratives of war and romance by imbuing them with a female perspective.

She has participated in various exhibitions such as Merayakan Murni, Sudakara Artspace Sanur Bali (2016), Mabesikan Project, Art for Social Change Presentation, Jakarta (2017) and Synthesis (Wonders of Indonesia), Bulgaria, (2019). In 2017, she was awarded the Gold Award after winning the UOB Indonesian Painting of the Year competition.
