Biographical notes Cayung Siagian
started his art journey with drawing - making black and white sketches.
His journey to reach and understand the "art spirit" has led him to
use finger painting in many of his most meaningful works. Touching
the works directly, he feels the clearest and strongest feeling of
"universal energy" and he knows that his heart and soul
has already accepted and merged that spiritual energy with his painting.
Cayung's Toba-Batak heritage expresses itself strongly in his awareness of both the natural and spiritual worlds. In his paintings this visionary artist explores existential questions of human exisitence. He also shows to us the natural world around us through his own unique view, which transcends reality. Often the living forms of human and tree are merged to become a new lifeform, or sometimes he shows us alien creatures and winged beings, of other worlds than ours. Cayung is a self-taught artist who says that the best art teacher is natural experience, because there is no authority or discipline forcing or limiting the freedom of expression in art. His work is his personal journey . Through his art, he is absorbing , interpreting and seeking the meaning of the deepest and biggest questions about the Universe and our place within it. Metaphysical questions are at the heart of his life-journey, with Music, Art and Natural Beauty as his companions. Written by Cynthia Webb Past exhibits
