Sinta Tantra is a British artist of Balinese descent. She was born in New York in 1979, and spent her childhood across Indonesia, America and the UK. She subsequently graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art, London, in 2003 and completed her postgraduate degree at Royal Academy of Arts in 2006. She is known for creating colourful large-scale public artworks and geometric paintings. Tantra’s site-specific public art murals are “asymmetric-anti-patterns” that respond closely to their surroundings. She describes them as “living paintings that not only exist on a human scale – where the body can become immersed in colour – but also on a city scale, where colour breaks up the grey architectural blocks of the city.”Examples of this can be seen at the Al Majaz Waterfront in Sharjah (2019), Lee Tung Avenue in Hong Kong (2018), and across a 300-metre bridge in Canary Wharf in London (2012).
