Cokorda Martin

Cokorda Martin grew up in Klungkung inside a family of makers. Traditional Balinese motifs — ritual pattern, temple color, mythic reference — are his raw material, but he doesn't treat them as historical objects. They show up in album art, brand collaborations with Café Kitsuné and Uniqlo, and editorial work for international clients. Island craft meeting global briefs, without losing anything in the translation.

Cokorda Martin is a Balinese artist whose work is deeply influenced by his childhood and cultural heritage. Introduced to traditional art forms by his father and grandfather, Martin developed a passion for art that evolved from drawing and cartooning to digital illustrations. His style blends Balinese, Japanese, and Chinese traditions with a Pop Art aesthetic, combining simplicity with intricate cultural motifs. Martin’s creations often include posters, character designs, and digital illustrations that merge traditional and contemporary elements, offering a unique perspective that bridges cultural narratives with modern artistry.
