I Nyoman Gunarsa is one of the great painter who was born in Klungkung on April 15, 1944. He earned art education at ASRI (Academy of Visual Art Indonesia) Yogyakarta.

Bali, particularly Ubud, is the birthplace of the great painters. Bali's natural beauty is also remarkable artist has attracted many foreigners to forget the land of his birth and settled in the island resort. Don Antonio Blanco is one of them. Spanish painter born in 1911 is very good at describing the beauty of women. The model used was his own wife, Ni Ronji, and her eldest son, Tjempaka Blanco.

I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, legendary Balinese painter who was born in 1862 Bedahulu year is also known as 'undagi' (traditional building planners) and 'sangging' (device makers for the ceremony Ngaben).

In addition to great painters above, there are still many Balinese painters whose work is very beautiful. Made Wianta is one of the current generation of painters whose work is looming in the art world.

Painting gallery tour in Bali really eye and tourist attractions are washed conscience. Unfortunately, every painting that I estimate is always worth over 50 million (how sad!), So I ended up quite satisfied with just enjoying the beautiful paintings were, no longer dared to ask how much it costs ...

But really - as I wrote before - the price of the painting is very relative, and there is no default. If we really like a painting, and the painter have the 'chemistry' to us (meaning 'comfortable' to us), he could have lowered the price of a painting or even give it freely to us. Well, just like my brother, who because I do not want to buy anthuriumnya, ended up giving potted anthurium and 4 aglaonema to me (see Wave of Love, Mahal Tiada Tara

In a gallery, I fell in love with a dancer painting bali Made Wianta work, but yes ... it was worth 60 million. Obviously I immediately shrink. Staff gallery, see I'm really interested, ask what price I am willing to pay. He will call Wianta, who knows Wianta let go of his paintings. Laah ... I still can not mention numbers. Price 60 million, what would I offer? Cook I say 6 million? Later Wianta even offended, right? At that time I did not know, if Wianta is one of the top artists who can picture the price above 100 million. Nyesel I also do not want to see Wianta own. Who knows, after the meeting, she was presented the painting to me .... Olala!
