In the artistic research in Indonesia, especially for art creation research; a lot of ideas of art creation are born from personal experience, however they often constrained by the artists’ subjectivity in expressing these experiences. This triggers a lack of scientific publications relating to the explanation of life experiences that underlie the idea of creating artworks. This article describes the process of explaining of the life experience reflection into the idea of creating artworks. This method is needed to explain subjective triggers into objective knowledge as a scientific research manuscript. This artistic research employs a practice-led research approach. The analysis and discussion are carried out through reflection between ideas of creation, artworks, reviews of existing artworks, and related literature. Researchers convince that the practice-led research methodology is very strategic to boost the quality of writing artistic articles, dissemination and presentation of arts. In addition, this methodology is expected to overcome the gap between the practice of art creation and scientific publications. This study offers steps to uncover subjective experiences into objective research. This artistic research can be used to conquer the subjectivity in art creation and the imbalance between scientific publications and the writing of art creation practices.
