Balinese paintings are a vibrant artistic tradition from the Indonesian island of Bali, historically rooted in religious storytelling and temple decoration but later evolving into a diverse visual language blending mythology, daily life, and modern influences. Traditional works, often created on cloth or bark paper, feature dense compositions filled with Hindu epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, rendered in fine lines and muted earth tones. In the 20th century, contact with Western artists introduced new perspectives, leading to more expressive use of color, individualistic themes, and depictions of Balinese village life, dance, and ritual. Despite stylistic changes, Balinese paintings maintain a strong narrative spirit and meticulous attention to ornamental detail, reflecting the island’s deep fusion of spirituality and artistry.
