Ni Komang Atmi Kristiadewi was born in Denpasar on June 24th, 1990. She studied art at a fine arts high school (Sukawati State Vocational High School 1), graduating in 2008. She later continued her education at the Republic of Indonesia Teachers Association of Bali Institute of Teacher Training and Pedagogy choosing Fine Arts as a field of study. Then she continued and finished her education at the Denpasar Postgraduate Institute of Indonesian Art with a course of study in Art Composition in 2015.
Atmi became involved in the art world owing to inspiration from Japanese animation and taking it up as a hobby. Her uncle worked as an artist and greatly inspired Atmi to become an artist.
Atmi's images are in the naive style using bright colors. The strength of these naive images emerges through a lengthy process which is created due to her efforts to put herself in the position of children and the experience of interacting with the students she teaches.
In 2011, Atmi held her inaugural solo exhibition at Ten Art Gallery, Sanur, under the theme “Polusi Rasa”. In 2015 she held her second solo exhibition entitled “Apah” in Sudakara Art Space, Sanur. In addition, she also actively holds exhibitions with others, both at home and abroad.
Through her artwork, Atmi hopes to share her experiences about the world of children interwoven with wider subject matter, such as environmental, technological, cultural, social criticisms, and so on. Visually, Atmi chooses naivism to express her inner anxieties. In 2014, Atmi’s work successfully entered the ranks of works in Kompas’s 2014 Short Story Illustration Exhibition.
Ni Komang Atmi Kristiadewi lahir di Denpasar, 24 Juni 1990. Menempuh pendidikan seni di SMSR (SMKN 1 Sukawati), lulus pada tahun 2008. Kemudian melanjutkan pendidikan ke IKIP PGRI Bali mengambil jurusan Seni Rupa. Lalu melanjutkan dan menyelesaikan pendidikan di Pasca Sarjana ISI Denpasar dengan mengambil jurusan Penciptaan Seni pada tahun 2015.
Atmi terjun ke dunia seni karena terinspirasi animasi Jepang dan lalu mengembangkannya sebagai hobi. Pamannya berprofesi sebagai seniman dan banyak menginspirasi Atmi untuk menjadi seniman.
Lukisan Atmi bergaya naif dengan warna-warna cerah. Gaya lukis naif ini muncul melalui proses panjang yang tercipta karena usaha-usahanya untuk menempatkan diri di posisi anak-anak dan pengalaman berinteraksi dengan murid-murid yang dia ajar.
Pada tahun 2011, Atmi menggelar pameran tunggal perdananya di Ten Art Gallery, Sanur dengan tema "Polusi Rasa". Pada tahun 2015 dia menggelar pameran tunggal kedua bertajuk “Apah” di Sudakara Art Space, Sanur. Selain itu dia juga aktif berpameran bersama, baik di dalam maupun luar negeri.
Melalui karya seninya, Atmi ingin membagi pengalamannya tentang dunia anak-anak yang berkelindan dengan persoalan lebih luas, seperti kritik lingkungan, teknologi, budaya, sosial dan sebagainya. Secara visual, Atmi memilih naivisme untuk mengekspresikan kegelisahan batinnya.
Pada tahun 2014, karya Atmi berhasil masuk dalam jajaran karya-karya ilustrator cerpen Kompas 2014.
