Bali is rich with culture and art as has been reflected by the people’s daily lives. The spirit of art is manifested through the Balinese music, drama, painting, sculpture, wood carving, architecture, building, offerings, silver creations, and so on. In the traditional Balinese villages, we can see the girls dancing in their Wantilan Banjar (village pavilion), while the traditional rindik musicians playing the Balinese instruments. Or, all along the street to Ubud, while enjoying a Bali tour, you will behold the carpenters or artisans making the Balinese style furniture. Thus, it’s needless to say that the Balinese people are somehow artists.
Balinese art gets strong influences from Hindu-Javanese of the Majapahit Kingdom in the past centuries. The first area in Bali that got the stronger impact is Ubud, and then it’s something understandable if Ubud is now famous as the center of Balinese art. In Ubud, the famous painters established such great museums as well as galleries. Beside Ubud, Celuk area is also renowned for its gold and silver creations. Mas area is popular for its woodcarvings, and Batu Bulan area for its stone carvings. Those areas become the main destinations for the Bali travel individuals looking for the authentic Balinese art-works as well as appreciating the culture and history.
Another form of Balinese art can be seen from the offering prepared by the Balinese women. Those offerings are shaped and ornamented beautifully by using the magnificent flowers, dazzling fruits, delectable cakes, and cut-out palm leaves. The results are such awesome offerings with interesting colors as well as nice in taste. The house buildings of Balinese people are also built implementing the finest art works such as statues, sculptures, thatched-roofs, artistic gates, etc. Really, as far as the eyes can see, all Bali vacation lovers will be shown any kind of Balinese art in various shapes, forms, colors, weights, heights, and tastes.
Balinese art is always created by purposes. The Bali travel devotees may see from the furniture, statues, paintings, or whatsoever, they are all useful for life, for example the furniture you can use to decorate your residences. Whenever the people make the art works, they also consider the function and utilities. Therefore, Balinese art is somehow purposeful and usable for the daily lives. Beauty and utility merge all at once, creating such mesmerizing art works, making everything objects of desire. Having a Balinese art work is the precious investment for a lifetime. |
