After not being able to continue formal education to a higher level, beginning in 1993 began the quest for identity. After failing to take formal education, 1993 in Bandung, West Java, self-taught with the Institute of Technology lecturers in the city of Bandung. A year later went to the island of Bali here to learn painting and culture of traditional Balinese artists, also hanging out with foreign artists who lived in Bali or just traveling, from 1994 to 2000 in 2000 he moved to the city of Yogyakarta till now.
Aware of the talent and love of art that is strong, after failing informal education began the journey of life in search of knowledge and the environment in which art and culture education existed and grew up finally I decided to move to the city of education, technology, and art, Bandung, West Java.

A year later I decided to go to Bali to study traditional Balinese art, there I met a lot of traditional artists and foreign artists living in Bali or just traveling.
