Bestrizal Besta is an Indonesian artist working mainly with paintings. His works revolve around the themes of humanity, science, and art. His photo-realist approach is grounded in photography where he constructs scenarios that are then processed as digital images, later manipulated and embellished with elements that enable him to further present a moral and personal message. His works display a mastery of charcoal as a medium, used in a remarkable scale on canvas, with a symbolic, haunting, joyful, mysterious subject matter that can lead to many discoveries. 

In some of his paintings, he uses splashes of colour coming from flora and fauna. This is an applied metaphor in which he addresses our contrasting relationship with nature. We are all different, and with our differences, we co-exist interdependently in equilibrium. Bestrizal has done many solo and group exhibitions. Some of his solo exhibitions include: “Seeing The Unseen” – Primae Noctis Art Gallery, Lugano, Switzerland, 2020; “Mother Nature” – ArtPorters Gallery, Singapore, 2019; “Cybernetic Blues” – CGartspace Gallery, Jakarta, Indonesia, 2009.
