Born in 1970, Budi studied painting with his father since childhood. He is keen on Chinese traditional culture and the arts, especially Buddhism. Budi is deeply influenced by ancient Chinese literati and their aesthetic ideas. In recent years his focus has been mainly on oriental cultures and their own understanding and perception of art forms.

For his first solo show at Xin Dong Cheng Space for Contemporary Art, Budi will showcase in one of the most interesting art exhibition in Beijing this year, a range of paintings whose visual strength depicts all the components of traditional oriental culture, Buddhism yet englobed by contemporary mastering.
