Arnawa will display thirty (30) of his unique art works at Maya Ubud Resort & Spa consisting mainly of puppet figures inspired by stories on Ramayana and Mahabarata epics.
Born in Denpasar, Bali, in 1950, Arnawa graduated from Fine Art and Design in Udayana University, Denpasar. Arnawa’s earlier work concentrated on traditional Balinese sceneries captured in colourful oils and acrylics. An increasing interest in the ancient Hindu epic tales of the Ramayana and Mahabarata inspired him to change the focus of his art in the late of 1985.
Arnawa uses mixed media including antique Bali fabric elements such as keling, cepuk, geringsing and poleng as the background. Oil and Acrylic are also used on his paintings, however he consistently introduce Balinese cloth designs as the backdrop if his puppet figures. Arnawa believes he has learnt many lessons of life from the ancient epics and this is interpreted through his work.
Arnawa’s beautiful works on acrylic and mixed media can be viewed during this exhibition at Maya Ubud Resort & Spa from July 17 to August 15, 2009.
