Biography Born 3. September, 1968 Birth place Balige, North Sumatra, Indonesia (Toba Batak) 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. Of course, this method removes the interruption of a man-made tool in creating the images, and so the force of Cayung's inspiration is powerfully expressed, and experienced from seeing his touch on the canvas. He wishes to remove all obstacles and interferences which may reduce the purity and strength of the artistic inspiration/energy which he channels into his works. 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.
