Graduated from Indonesian Institute of The Arts, Yogyakarta, Faculty of Design, Department of Visual Communication Design in 2021.
Since 2015, Bernandi has chosen to focus on visual arts, particularly painting. After graduating, Bernandi decided to pursue a career as a full time artist and currently lived in Yogyakarta.
He is also recognised as Berbrain. He is an artist whose creative journey is rooted in imagination, The name ‘Berbrain’ encapsulates the notion of ‘Bernandi’s thoughts,’ elegantly combining ‘Ber’ and ‘Brain. ‘An undeniable passion for animals, monsters, and all things uncanny courses through Bernandi’s creative veins.
This fervour consistently finds its expression in the art he produces today, a majority of which draws inspiration from these captivating realms. Notably, the enchanting universe of cartoon characters also contributes to the tapestry of his creations. It’s within this artistic landscape that Bernandi skillfully weaves together the essence of monsters, animals, and animated personas, breathing life into a symphony of new and captivating species.
