Bayu
Bayu Mandira is an artist from Indonesia who was born in Gianyar, Bali in 1993. He has completed his master of art at the Indonesian Art Institute Yogyakarta.
Bayu was born and raised in a thick art and culture environment in the middle of the island of Bali, besides having a very strong cultural background, he also grew up in the millennial era where Superhero stories are very popular.
Having a thick Balinese cultural background makes him have a desire to bring the culture and traditions into a new, unique, and acceptable form for people all over the world.
He combines popular icons from Balinese culture and popular icons from Superhero characters to reveal the problem of who/what/why, superheroes that he actually considers important and then look from a broader perspective and become global and relate to other people's problems.
