Carla Agustian
(b. 1998)
Carla Agustian (b. 1998) is a Bandung-based artist graduated in 2020 from Fine Art
of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). Most of her works are the externalization of what she thinks, feels, and observes, using charcoal on canvas as a form of expression.
A lot of her works revolves around her reflections, including various human feelings
that cannot be predicted and full of secrets, as well as intimate personal experiences.
Naivety and intimate impression of her works transform into a play of light (dark-light), fabric, and achromatic colors. The process of creating is a way for her to understand herself. For Carla, the works she made are the ultimate form of gratitude for life and the journey that goes with it.
Different feelings and experiences related to the way a person is shaped are presented in the form of artworks, with various readings as representations of occurring events. Discussing negative and positive emotions cannot be separated from human life, possessing the ability to form a defense mechanism, ways of adapting, and a point of acceptance. These concepts has become the root of Carla’s artistic concept so far. Until now, Carla has participated in various exhibitions in Bandung and several other cities.
