‘Coastalvision: Heavily-saturated Tropicaliá’ follows the artistic journey of the outsider artist Kendra Ahimsa (aka Ardneks) from 2011 to 2023. Presented through a series of interviews between Ardneks and radio announcers from around the globe, the story blends reality, fantasy, and candid nostalgia – just like the colourful and mind-boggling artworks Ardneks envisions. Interesting to note is how he engages with various religious deities and symbols, with cross-cultural references inspired by Islam (including Sufism), Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity. Ardneks has also attracted the attention of internationally acclaimed bands, leading to original artwork for local concert posters.
