1973年出生於屏東縣三地門的藝術家雷恩，1996年畢業於國立台灣藝術大學，傳承了壯美天地下無垠強大的藝術能量，與排灣族細膩手工的技術，粗獷的焊接金工在其手上卻顯細膩精緻，形式輕巧。創作形式多元，不拘泥於題材與媒材，鑲嵌珠畫、繪畫、雕塑、生活工藝皆有所成，為台灣當代原民藝術家代表人物之一。
雷恩的作品多取材於部落的人文關懷、以及古老神話傳說之美麗幻境。體現了三度空間的立體雕塑是雷恩創作集大成的形式，結合藝術及工藝創作實踐美學，傳遞了新世代原住民藝術家批判自省的態度，更揭櫫與原漢群關懷等議題。將傳統文化賦予新意，並以跳脫族群刻板印象的技法，在當代原住民藝術家中獨樹一格。

Kulele Ruladen, born to Sandimen of Pingtung County in 1973 and graduating from National Taiwan University of Arts, inherited the formidable artistic energy amidst the majestic heaven and earth as well as the delicate craftsmanship of Paiwan. The rugged welding of metalwork appears to be intricately exquisite and light in his hands. He creates in variety, not limited to any theme or medium, such as mosaic beads painting, painting, sculpture, and handicrafts. Kulele Ruladen thus becomes one of the icons of the contemporary indigenous artists in Taiwan.
The art pieces of Kulele Ruladen are mostly derived from the humanistic care of the tribe and the fantastic realm in the ancient myths. A 3D sculpture is the culmination of the artist’s creativity. Combining art and practical aesthetic of crasftsmanship, it not only conveys the reflective attitude of the indigenous artists of the new generation, but also reveals the issues and concerns between the indigenous and the Hans. Bestowing new meanings upon the traditional culture, Kulele Ruladen sets himself in a unique positon among the contemporary indigenous artists with techniques beyond the stereotype toward his people.
