BIO
Ataya Artisia (b. 1996, Moscow) is a Bali-based artist working across painting, mixed media, and digital art. Since relocating to Bali in 2018, her work has become a search for origins, primal structures of life, rhythms of growth, and unseen geometries that shape existence.
Working with layered acrylic combined with plaster and sand, watercolor, and digital tools, she creates textured and fluid worlds where forms arise intuitively. Her visual language moves between biomorphic and geometric abstraction, offering images that feel both ancient and contemporary.
She studied at the Moscow Art School (2007–2012) and received a degree in Art and Graphic Design from Art College (2012–2016).
ARTIST STATEMENT
Why biomorphism, biology, nature? Nature contains all questions and answers in a mesmerizingly chaotic form. For me, biological structures—textures, cells, patterns, micro and macro—reveal a divine design, offering hope that nothing is random, that something greater than emptiness awaits us after death.
I search for primordial forms to return to the beginning, to the origin of all things. These forms embody the most organic and harmonious that can exist. Organic forms awaken something in the depths of the unconscious, evoking emotions, reactions, and associations that connect us to humanity's universal experience. They address those layers of the mind that operate beyond consciousness, using archetypal images to express emotions and inner experiences that transcend individual contexts and life scenarios.
The universal experience of humanity unites those aspects of life that people have lived through throughout history, regardless of cultural, temporal, and individual differences. The design of this fundamental phenomenon, which emerged without human participation, extends beyond everyday concerns, reminding us of the primordial complexity and beauty of all life.
