Bali is also known as the island of artists because of the spirit of art that exists on this island as if it never goes out because of the talent from artists’ families who come from generation to generation. Balinese artists traditionally through painting only produce religious art to depict myths.

A simple painting style with natural dyes made from cotton flowers and rice flour looks like a painting found in shadow puppets from Java.
Balinese Cow Bone Necklace And Art History
One of the oldest paintings that tourists are allowed to enjoy today is the well-preserved lotus and the figure of the well-preserved Ganesha god at Besakih Temple, these two relics are thought to have been painted in the 15th century. Some works from the beginning of the 19th century are now placed in several museums in Ubud, palaces or temples as decorative elements that have beauty and historical value.
In the early 1930s Ubud, Batuan and Sanur began to emerge and were recognized by tourists as an area with high quality of the artwork. Ida Bagus Gelgel, I Gusti Nyoman Lempad and Ida Bagus Kembang was well-known Balinese painters of the time who had acculturated traditional concepts and materials in art with some western influences.
In the 50s and 70s the art associations were also growing in several regions, and art schools began to produce Balinese artists with more capable abilities. As international artists began moving to Bali in the early 1900s, their new approach spread to the community, especially with Balinese artists in Ubud and neighboring Batuan villages since then becoming very famous for their painters, who handle traditional subjects and scenery with colorful and detailed paintings.
Today, newer artists’ schools have experimented with more modern art forms, and various artistic approaches can now be seen in art galleries in Bali, as well as in hotels, cafes, and restaurants that sometimes have exhibitions. Artists of all types and skill levels sell their paintings to tourists, at reasonable prices depending on the artist and his talent.
