Balinese art: Owing to its origin in the Javanese shadow puppets, the Balinese again develop their own wayang kulit. Very popular night time entertainment, depicting myths and the struggles between good and evil.
Ballinese paintings traditionally represent religious life or mythical characters
but modern themes bring vibrant colour but uniquely Balinese.
All the Balinese are artists from wooden masks to panels, paras stone to silver and gold. The Balinese are masters in expressing their religious beliefs into items of artistic value. |
