His work entitled Dua Mata - "Two Eyes" - (1998) implies how he is always being watched by the eye of the mind. All conduct has to know its limination. The work seems to represent Mantra perfectly enough : he is always careful in his life
He was born on 22 August 1971 and graduated from ISI Yogyakarta. In his student years he took part in various group exhibitions by Sanggar Dewata Indonesia (SDI), Prasidha 93, Kelompok Tujuh SDi and others.
Mantra likes to propose his "ideologies" as the therapy both for himself and others. These have resulted in wild imaginations sometimes difficult for others to enter; he never complains, however, as long as it concerns the realization of his ideas.
