Tirta Winata is a photographer based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Started out as a self-taught, he earn his MFA in urban arts & cultural industry from Jakarta Institute of Arts. His work predominantly focuses on portraying nature’s magnificence as if in its pristine, unspoiled, pre-human-intervention form. This way embodies his profound appreciation for nature.
He initially used being present in nature as a form of personal meditation to experience the attainment of freedom and solitude. Now he seeks to transport those significant feelings via his work through clean and minimalist approach, evoking the same sense of peace that he experiences in his encounters during the process of capturing the images.
