Ceargio Bagenda, known by the alias Twinrafters, was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, in 1993. He immigrated to the United States at the age of five, seeking refuge from civil conflict, and discovered his passion for creative expression through visual arts, finding immense joy and liberation in the process. In 2019, he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Art, Media, and Design from DePaul University, infusing his mixed-media work with a rich tapestry of cultural themes and vernacular.

Bagenda's versatile studio practice encompasses various mediums, including oil painting, 3D projection mapping, and digital collage animation. His artistic repertoire explores the interplay between structured, precise, and geometric elements on one side, and the fluid, vibrant, and emotionally charged aspects on the other. His identity as an Asian-American artist provides a distinct perspective, shaped by the convergence of cultural heritage and transformative technological advancements that define our contemporary era.

Bagenda's art has been featured in several group exhibitions, including "Surface Depths" at the University Club of Chicago's 12th Floor Gallery and "AMFM's Jazz Series" at Silent Funny Gallery. More recently, he showcased his digital artwork in Paris as part of Artcrush Gallery's public arts initiative during NFT Paris 2023 and as a participant in EXPO Chicago's 2023 OVERRIDE Program, in collaboration with Chicago's DCASE. Presently, Bagenda resides and works in Chicago, Illinois.
