About
Tantrum Art Studio
Krismarlianti founded Tantrum Art Studio as a private art studio. Since 2022, she has opened her studio to the public during the Taranaki Art Trail and by appointment throughout the year.
Tantrum Art Studio is the place where I can be myself, express my emotions and feelings, break the ‘rules’ without feeling ashamed, and then throw them on the canvas.
The studio is Kris’s laboratory and sanctuary. It is a symbol of her spontaneity, freedom, and her journey. For her, the studio encourages her to keep learning about everything, a place to stimulate her creativity, process her anxiety, and find a way to embrace every single moment in her life.
Biography
Krismarlianti also known as Kris is an artist who is attracted by chaotic and vibrant colours. She believes that life is chaotic, unpredictable, and dynamic. She articulates her perspective and belief about life and humans through the vibrant vivid colours of oil paint, spontaneous lines, and brush strokes.
She grew up in a multicultural environment, which led her to a unique perspective on human life and condition. The Raw life stories that she experienced when she lived in Indonesia had a strong influence on her art process.
Every time I come to the studio, I feel joy and anxiety at the same time. I feel contented when connecting with myself and life. I let my mind and feelings be honest and free.
