Wahyu Simbrana is a realist and naturalist artist based in Karangasem, Bali, who recently graduated from the Institute of Arts Indonesia (ISI), Denpasar. Long time ago, he was belittled by his art teacher in junior high school, saying that his skull painting wasn't a piece of art. The incidement motivated Wahyu to keep enhancing his artistic abilities and to go beyond his limits.

His paintings center on many things such as death and life. He's a huge fan of Salvador Dali, a well-known surrealist artist. For example, in one of Wahyu's paintings titled "Memory of Dali", he included Dali as the main object of the painting and two other objects, a watch and a giraffe, which refer to Dali's famous masterpieces "The Melting Watch" (1954) and "The Burning Giraffe" (1937).
