During his hood, his father taught him to carve Balinese houses. After completing junior high school, he continued studying at an art school in Denpasar. After graduation, the government appointed him as a junior high school teacher in the regency of Bangli. In 1974, along with teaching, he began to paint everyday Balinese life. In 1982, Sujana changed his medium from canvas to batik and he had the opportunity to learn this technique directly from Amri Yahya, a well-known batik painter. For three months, Sujana was deeply engrossed in studying the process of batik in the yogya style. At the end of his training, he thought that Bali should have a batik style of its own. After some experimentation, Sujana developed his own style which he calls sigar mangsi and now teaches it to his students. Sujana keeps researching new ideas for batik. His paintings can be found all over the world.
