Born in Tabanan, 14 November 1951, Nuarta grew up very close to nature and learned the importance of guarding the harmony between human and The Creator, human with nature, and mutual relationship between human (Tri Hita Kirana). 

Hence, most of his artworks reflect this very important Balinese life philosphy. He acclaimed his reputation as one of Indonesia's foremost modern sculptor by creating numerous masterpieces and building monumental statue such as "Arjuna Wijaya" in Jakarta, "Jalesveva Jayamahe" in Surabaya, and the most phenomenal "Garuda Wisnu Kencana" monument in Bali which stands 121m above the ground marking it as the third tallest monument in the world.
