Paplajahan Ané Bakatang Tiang Uli Bali + (While people visit Bali for a multitude of … While people visit Bali for a multitude of reasons this island is special to me as I have called it home for the last 3 years. Bali has taught me some lessons that I will keep with me in other stages of life.An important lesson I’ve learned is that every place presents you with an opportunity to grow, you just need the courage to say yes! Bali gives everyone the opportunity to explore the outdoors (either in the mountains or underwater), and this gives everyone the chance to gain a new skill, make new friends or develop a love for the natural world. Recently, I have gotten the courage and determination to say yes to become a certified Open Water Diver.This experience has been incredibly rewarding, as I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, my friendships grew with those I trained with and my eyes were opened to the beauty of the underwater world. With this opportunity, I realised how pressing the issues of coral bleaching and unsustainable fishing actually are and am now more determined to be a part of the solution. From this, I will join a coral restoration project in Les Village because no matter how small we contribute, every action makes a difference. We must think about the global implications yet, take action locally.The Balinese open up their island to all of us, foreigners and Indonesians so we can experience the island’s beauty and it is crucial for us to not take this for granted. I realise that a society which hugely depends on tourism has a risk, therefore respecting the customs and traditions in Bali should be a no brainer, as we would hope and expect the same of others if they are visiting our home. As of 25th March 2023, 76 foreigners have been deported fromBali for reasons that range from overstaying visas to committing crimes. Although this is a small percentage compared to the number of tourists, in this digital era, their actions go viral and can harm the image of Bali. While Bali is well-known for its tourism because of its beauty, kindness and approachability, I believe that rules should be enforced in order to maintain the quality of tourism that this island offers.Moreover, during my time here I’ve come to realise that it’s important to diversify and not put all our eggs in the same basket. During the pandemic, tourism was at a standstill which hit the people and local economy dramatically. Therefore, the Balinese have adapted to diversify their work portfolio such as farming, establishing small businesses or fishing. This lesson will carry on with me in the future, because it has shown me that trying different opportunities will help us to continue growing and adapting to an ever changing world.I will continue to learn more lessons in Bali and am grateful for all the opportunities and experiences that I’ve gotten alongside the lessons that have come with it.ngside the lessons that have come with it.)
Sustainable Balinese Culture with TikTok + (Who doesn’t know TikTok today? This short … Who doesn’t know TikTok today? This short video platform is now gaining popularity in Indonesia, used by people of all levels. Bali as the world’s tourist destination is also inevitably influenced by the popularity of this app. Many Balinese are actively creating content on TikTok. Some create ‘a day in my life’ contents, dance covers, cinematic video, musics, or just scrolling and sharing videos or links to others. Seen from the technological perspective, the contents in TikTok is very helpful in spreading information and entertainment. However, have you ever wondered if TikTok would gradually diminish the local culture and tradition in Bali? We know that Bali has a lot of culture and traditions that need to be preserved. Gradually, however, many Balinese people no longer are concerned with or learn about their own culture. For example, today’s younger generation prefer following TikTok’s dance trends to learning Balinese dance. If continued, it will influence the existence of Balinese culture because Bali is well-known for its unique culture, not for TikTok trends. It is important, therefore, for us Balinese to always remember to preserve our culture that has been flourishing since olden times. It’s okay if people want to follow TikTok trends, but it would be better if we Balinese join by setting new trends on it with our own Balinese cultural touches. For instance, we can show how Balinese dance is performed, how Balinese music is played, how Balinese make-up is done, and other cultural contents. Let’s preserve Balinese arts and culture on digital platforms such as TikTok so that everyone in world knows more about the beauty and uniqueness of our Balinese culture by adapting to the current developments.e by adapting to the current developments.)
Bali in equality + (Why are there so many phenomena when boys … Why are there so many phenomena when boys who are born are said to be safe and considered lucky, but if women are often said "yes, that's okay". It's just realistic that many people think that women have a lower position than men. What's the difference though? In religion women and men have the same role and position. Male and female elements, "purusa and pradana" are in human beings and are important in the process of creation. Women also have a triple role, they can have a household, they can work for a living, moreover they can be active with local residents. Mebraya, metanding, ngayah are common things that women do. If that's the case, why is it often said that only sons can continue offspring, right? Even though the system in Bali adheres to patriarchy, there is still such a thing as "nyentana" when a man lives in the household of his wife). The understanding of gender equality is very appropriate to be applied by all Balinese people. Women can still lead and take care of all the affairs and many jobs. It is time for a culture that follows religion to look at this in another way for the common good. “Pesu peluh meli taluh, eda kadena aluh dadi anak luh“.eli taluh, eda kadena aluh dadi anak luh“.)

How to Prevent Foreign Nationals from Driving Recklessly on Motorcycles/Cars in Bali + (Yesterday afternoon, I went for a stroll t … Yesterday afternoon, I went for a stroll to Kuta. I saw a lot of foreign nationals driving recklessly on motorcycles and cars. I was shocked to see them, and it made me feel uneasy. I was afraid of being hit by one of those foreign nationals, who may not even realize they were doing something wrong. Why do these reckless foreign nationals come to Bali? Why aren't the rental companies keeping an eye on them and ensuring they know how to drive properly on the roads? Instead of just taking their money, we should teach them how to drive properly through the police department. Let's all work together, including the rental companies, to test foreign nationals before renting them motorcycles or cars. Let's build and maintain Bali as a safe place for everyone. We can also boost Bali's economy and tourism industry so that rental companies don't have to close down due to reckless foreign nationals. Let's educate and teach foreign nationals how to drive properly to avoid any more news about reckless foreign nationals endangering Bali.ckless foreign nationals endangering Bali.)
Arjuna Wiwaha + ([EN] Kakawin Arjuna Wiwaha is a modificati … [EN] Kakawin Arjuna Wiwaha is a modification of the historical story in the Mahabharata, especially in Wana Parwa. This Kakawin tells about Arjuna's journey to search for magic weapons from Lord Shiva. In 1019-1042 A.D., the story of this ascetic Arjuna was translated and written in the form of ancient Javanese kakawin by Mpu Kanwa. The writing of this kakawin was done during the reign of King Airlangga.At the beginning of this kakawin there is a story about Arjuna who did a hermitage on Mount Mahameru to get blessings from Lord Indra. Then, he was seduced by two angels. But Arjuna passed the test. As a blessing, he was given a magic weapon by Lord Indra.There is also a story when Arjuna killed demon Niwatakawaca who controlled the demigods’ realm and disturbed the peace of the demigods.This Kakawin, although in some parts does not correspond to its original history, is very popular among the Balinese. This kakawin is the most widely quoted and studied in schools. However, as a historical reference, this kakawin is not credible because many parts have been modified. There are many parts that do not fit the Mahabharata story according to the original as written by Maharsi Wyasa. Therefore, this kakawin is classified as a literary work, not a historical epoch.s a literary work, not a historical epoch.)
Bharatayuddha + ([EN] Kakawin Bharatayuddha tells about 18- … [EN] Kakawin Bharatayuddha tells about 18-day war on the battlefield of Kuruksetra. This Kakawin was composed by Mpu Panuluh during the Jayabhaya period of Panjalu (1135-1157 A.D.). In the manggala (opening) section of kakawin, there is a verse of honor for King Jayabhaya.The description in Kakawin Bharatayuddha is almost similar to the description of war in the Mahabharata written directly by Krishna Dvaipayana Vedavyasa 5,000 years ago. Presumably, this Kakawin is a kind of direct adaptation of the original Sanskrit text. The story in Kakawin Bharatayuddha begins with the arrival of Sri Krishna as an ambassador of peace for Pandavas. Sri Krishna did not want to eat at the Kaurava’s house, but He ate at Widura’s house.Then war broke out between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. In the Mahabharata, the description of war begins in the Bhisma Parwa section. This Kakawin Bharatayuddha is a shortened version of Bhisma Parwa, Drona Parwa, Karna Parwa, Salya Parwa to Swargarohana Parwa. It is said that the war in Kuruksetra took place in December. At the beginning of the war it was told that Arjuna felt sorry for having to fight with his own relatives. But Sri Krishna convinced him to fight because it was a battle between right and evil. This philosophical and religious dialog is known as Bhagavad-gita. Unfortunately, Kakawin Bharatayuddha does not contain this most important teaching and is more focused on warfare. This is understandable because Kakawin Bharatayuddha is a pujasastra (praise literary work) for King Jayabhaya. In fact, the essence of the teachings in Bharatayuddha is actually Bhagawad-gita.At the end of this story there is the story of revenge by Asvatthama (in the Sauptika Parwa section), but this kakawin does not tell about the destruction of the city of Dwaraka. Another interesting plot is the story of the revival of Pariksit who died in the womb. This story is also written in Hariwangsa and Bhagawata Purana.ritten in Hariwangsa and Bhagawata Purana.)
Nitisastra + ([EN] Kakawin Nitisastra is thought to have … [EN] Kakawin Nitisastra is thought to have been written by Dang Hyang Nirartha, although the real author was never known. However, Nitisastra is actually a written work originating from Canakya Nitisastra in Sanskrit, written by Canakya Pandit during the reign of King Asoka in Magada, India.Kakawin Nitisastra contains proper manners to be human, characteristics of a pious and impious person, the obligations of a student, a person who is married, and an obligation for priests. There are also many metaphors and parables about good and bad behavior, foods that are appropriate to eat and those that are not, and how to serve the four teachers.A copy of the palm-leaf manuscripts of Kakawin Nitisastra is still preserved in Gedong Kirtya, Singaraja. In 1978, this manuscript was copied into Latin script by Hindu Religion teachers from PGAH Singaraja. Then, there is also a newer copy in the Balinese script from the Bali Provincial Culture Office, completed with meanings in alus singgih Balinese.What caused Kakawin Nitisastra to be said to have been written by Dang Hyang Nirartha was because this kakawin was found together with Kakawin Nirartha Prakreta. The contents of the two kakawin do not differ much. Many writers suspect that this kakawin was written when Dang Hyang Nirartha lived in Gelgel. when Dang Hyang Nirartha lived in Gelgel.)
Sutasoma + ([EN] Kakawin Sutasoma was written by Mpu T … [EN] Kakawin Sutasoma was written by Mpu Tantular, and in this Kakawin there is the phrase "bhinneka tunggal ika" (unity in diversity) which became the official slogan of the Republic of Indonesia.Kakawin Sutasoma is a literary work that tells Sutasoma’s journey (which is another name for Gautama Buddha himself) in teaching righteousness. This Kakawin seems to have a common plot with Aryasura’s Sutasoma in Pali language.In Buddhism, the story of Sutasoma is very famous. This story is carved into the relief of Borobudur Temple, Central Java.It is said that Sutasoma was born to a Kuru aristocratic family in Hastinapur. Sutasoma eventually attained spiritual enlightenment. One interesting plot in this story is the event when Sutasoma awakened Kalmasapada, a descendant of the king who behaved like a lion, to finally follow the path of virtue.In his journey of spreading dharma, Sutasoma also met with Porisada, who likes to eat human flesh. Porisada finally realized and pursued the path of virtue.Kakawin Sutasoma underwent various modifications that were adapted to the conditions at the time of its preparation. Mpu Tantular emphasizes in this kakawin that Shivaistic cult (which worships Shiva as the highest, - one of the religious paths in Hinduism) is actually not different from Buddhism. It seems that, due to the influence of Indochina culture, Shiva Buddha cult emerged in the Archipelago. This philosophy is not found in India, the country of their origin.und in India, the country of their origin.)
Sabha Parwa + ([EN] Sabha Parwa is the second of the eigh … [EN] Sabha Parwa is the second of the eighteen Parwas (great chapters) of Mahabharata. Narration in Sabha Parwa begins with the invitation of the five Pandavas to Hastinapur to play dice. Hastinapur is located about 45 minutes from Delhi, so the distance is not too far. Keep in mind that all events in the Mahabharata are real. However, when the Mahabharata entered into various cultures in the world, this historical record was rewritten in the form of poetry, folktales and songs. In Indonesia itself, the Mahabharata was much changed its story to suit the interests at that time. This causes kakawin tobe unreliable as a source of history, but a literary work.Mahabharata was written by Maharsi Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa, the greatest and most respected sage by all Hindus.In Sabha Parwa, the saddest story is when Drupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, was dragged into the courtroom because her husbands lost bets. When Drupadi was almost stripped naked by Dussasana, Sri Krishna, who was Lord Vishnu himself, protected her by giving a very long string of saris to cover her body.Sabha Parwa is historical evidence that God is always present for anyone who surrenders to Him and becomes His faithful devotees. to Him and becomes His faithful devotees.)

Wayan Sila + (“The very first night I slept over at my n … “The very first night I slept over at my new studio an owl flew into the garden. It wasn’t a coincidence that I noticed it perched in a tree,” says Balinese artist Wayan Sila. “This was aspecial experience and powerful omen. A gift from the Gods to me.”The owl is much revered by indigenous cultures and in folklore around the world as aguardian spirit, as well as a wise creature capable of extraordinary sight. Balinesemythology reveals that if an owl visits a family compound while a female member ispregnant this is indeed a positive sign. Burung Hantu literally translates from bahasaIndonesia into the English language as ghost bird; or the owl, the mysterious bird of thenight.“I have a unique connection with owls. It is a potent image that resonates with my heart. Iwas intuitively led to draw the owl and then I began to include it in my works. It has nowmanifested into a personal symbolic image, equivalent to the Barong. The owl alsoencourages me to reflect on the joy that I derive from my family life,” says Wayan.Born in Ubud, 1970, Wayan Silawasinspired by his grandfather, well known local artistWayan Barwa. From an early age he regularly visited Barwa’sstudio and gallery,surrounded by the paintings of his Balinese heritage, this was the perfect scenario for achild to learn to draw and paint.Wayan soon became adept in the “Ubud Style” of modern traditional Balinese painting. Inthe evolution of Balinese painting during the last century, from its origins of the ClassicalKamasan style that concerned teachings from the Hindu Epics, each village then began tocreate their own distinctive style.The Ubud style moved away from the religious and began to be characterized bynarratives that involve daily village life and depictions of rural and environmentallandscapes. The artists from Ubud were quick to adopt western influences in the 1930’s,depth of field, shades of color, localized narratives and the development of the humanfigure. The Kamasan style was originally a collective work and never signed by anindividual. The new personalized and expressive form of Balinese painting has its rootsfirmly entrenched here in Ubud.Wayan’s canvases are beautifully composed and resound with an overwhelming sense ofbalance and harmony. His highly detailed works are first sketched in pencil then outlinedin black Chinese ink, finally they are rendered in acrylic paint with a fine kaus bamboo, asmall piece of bamboo crafted with a tiny point to apply the medium. A large canvas, 100 x80 cms, may take up to six months to complete. “In 1997 I was inspired to include owls in my compositions after seeing a wonderful sketch by a Japanese child.”Wayan’s relationship with the burung hantu then activated an endearing association withthe people of Japan, to whom the owl is symbolic of happiness. He first visited Japan in2002 and his premiere solo exhibition there was in 1998. Every year since then Wayan has enjoyed the privilege of exhibiting work in galleries, department stores, even in theIndonesian Consulate in Tokyo. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions in Japan, andnumerous other exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta, Spain and also at the prestigious Agung RaiMuseum of Art in Ubud.“It’s an honor for me to be invited on intercultural exchange programs teaching youngJapanese students traditional Balinese painting techniques. I do this each year when I visitJapan.” Wayan has since developed a healthy market for his works there and continues toell to the Japanese tourists who often visit his Ubud studio/gallery.Wayan Sila, acrylic on Canvas, 2012,45x 60cm.Wayan SilaGarden + Bale studio of Wayan Sila.Wayan Sila. 2012, chinese ink +acrylic on canvas, 60x80cm.Wayan’s cooperative works with Japanese poet Yoko Jatiasih have been the focus of two books. They initiallycollaborated in 1998 to create music and poetry for his paintings. In 2004 their first book “Kata Kata” Echoes From TheWoods, and then in 2010 “Pelan Pelan” were published.Browsing through these books, the creative synergy between the two is easy to recognize. Yoko’s short poems, no morethan 6 lines, resonate with an uncomplicated intelligence. Upon the opposing page to the text are Wayan’scomplimentary images created especially to accompany each poem.As you contemplate the words essence, as well as study Wayan’s images, the mysterious bird of the nights’full roundeyes are firmly transfixed upon you. The fusion of words along with the images perplex the imagination, and then defyyou to believe their medium is the owl’s silent and alluring gaze.In 2011 Wayan relocated to his new studio gallery in Jalan Bisma in Ubud.

Situated in the middle of theyard he has built a bamboo bale which functions as his studio, yet also as a place of quiet retreat. The surroundinggarden is abundant with organic vegetables, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, ornamental shrubs and flowers. Indeed, Wayanhas created his special own oasis.As you enter his two Bali dogs are quick to offer enthusiastic toothy greetings. The verdant vegetation is soothing andinviting. I discover two rabbits, four exotic birds and frogs and snakes frequent visitors, so Wayan tells me. Stonecarvings covered with brilliant green moss hide among the foliage, shrines and small Hindu temples are adorned withofferings and the sweet sent of burning incense seduces the senses. An outhouse serves as a simple kitchen and two rooms contain Wayan’s gallery painting collection and books for sale.When we observe Wayan’s paintings we enter into a beautiful and extraordinarily tranquil world.

Let us give thanks to the presence of Almighty God who has given Asung Kertawara to all of us so that we can gather in this place. Before I deliver this speech, I first want to thank you for the time and opportunity given to me to deliver my speech of hope. to the Bali government entitled "JUST CONNECTION OCCURRING IN BALI". Traffic jams arise because the volume of motorized vehicles is not proportional to the volume of the road. The number of motorized vehicles and cars increases every day. As a result, cars, public transportation and motorbikes pile up on the streets, traffic jams occur. Congestion can also slow down the performance of people who are stuck in traffic jams. Workers will be late arriving at work and students will arrive late at school. This especially happens to people who choose to use private transportation rather than public transportation. Traffic jams occur because too many people use motorized vehicles or cars and also because many road users do not comply with traffic regulations. On this occasion I would like to invite you to overcome traffic jams in Bali. If we cannot overcome them, at least we can reduce traffic jams in Bali. There are 2 main things we can do to reduce congestion. First, use public transportation, don't use private vehicles, using public transportation can reduce the volume of vehicles on the road. In the end, traffic jams will be reduced. Second, get used to walking if the distance is not too far. This method is simple but difficult to do. Even though walking is healthy, and by walking we are contributing to reducing traffic jams in Bali. I am sure that by taking these 2 actions traffic jams in Bali can be reduced. However, the Bali Government is expected to improve the comfort and safety of public transportation. I am sure that if public transportation is safe and comfortable, there will be more passengers. Finally, the number of private transportation users will decrease by itself. This is all I can say, hopefully it is useful for all of us. Sorry if there are wrong words and actions. For your attention I would like to thank. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OMk. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OM)

During his many journeys through Indonesia, Louis noticed that it is a very rich country in many ways. Louis believes that this has a lot to do with the fact that the Indonesian people are proud of their country. When Louis travels through Bali to take pictures for his paintings, the local people enjoy that. Meanwhile, it is not special for them. They live with all that beauty, their rich culture, and traditions every day. They are used to it. When Louis paints Balinese people, he tries to show them how beautiful and rich their culture is, how beautiful they are themselves. For Louis personal[ly], it is important that he, while photographing and painting the people, can make a part of their personality his own.

Before that, let us pray to the presence of Almighty God. Thanks to Him, we can gather here with happiness at the Bali Public Participation Wikithon with orations, which carries the theme, Election 2024: what are the most urgent problems to be addressed by Bali's prospective leaders ? Hopefully events like this can be held frequently to develop a threatening Bali.Happy guests, as we know, Bali is known as the island of a thousand temples with its very beautiful environment, which is often visited by foreign tourists, because Bali is one of the focuses of tourism in Indonesia. This is what drives many foreign tourists to come to Bali. Even though Bali is a tourist destination, this is not the main topic of discussion, but there are problems that have a significant impact on Bali. As we know, this so-called era of destruction, if we talk about the problems in Bali, will cause Bali to collapse. Unfortunately, the problems in Bali have not received treatment that is useful for the island of Bali.Happy guests, if you look at life now it is certainly different from previous life, especially with the problems, the most important problem is related to the environment and land of the island of Bali which has been built up and used as a tourist attraction, this is what will make the island of Bali In terms of land and environment, it will become increasingly narrow, if all the land and environment in Bali is made into a tourist attraction, where will we (humans), animals and others live and live our daily lives? Talking about the land environment that has been converted into a tourist spot, of course there are many daily activities carried out to produce plastic waste for society, this is what will become Bali's next problem. The existence of rubbish in Bali is very sad and gets very little attention, this is what creates big dangers, for example: floods, dengue fever and others. Moreover, as has recently been reported, the rubbish bins or Suwung landfills in Bali are very full and cause fires, giving rise to smoke pollution which causes disease. Are we all willing to live and do activities in dirty places? Of course, many of you are reluctant to live in a dirty place. Happy attendees, if I conclude it is related to the problems in Bali, so that Balinese leaders can provide solutions related to problems: the transfer of land or the environment to become tourist attractions and the rampant waste which has not received special attention from the government. Based on these problems, if we don't work together from now on as the front guard, it is certain that the island of Bali will gradually collapse. The island of Bali, which has been nicknamed a thousand temples, will lose its sanctity. Based on these problems, my hope is that the elected leader of Bali 2024 will be able to find a solution so that the Balinese people can implement the noble values that exist in Bali, namely TRI HITA KARANA, because these problems are related. with the TRI HITA KARANA value, so that Bali can return to the way it was before.Happy guests, that is the speech I can deliver, I hope you all are aware of the current condition of Bali.re aware of the current condition of Bali.)

Not just ourselves, all of us, both students, teenagers and parents, everyone living on earth, including Bali, which is famous for its natural beauty, should care about the existence of plastic waste. This is a behavior that includes teenagers as the main actors.Remember, the job of teenagers is not only to decorate and take selfies in beautiful places, but no one pays attention to the rubbish in front of them, which causes disasters such as landslides, floods, pollution and others.So that we are not exposed to danger, we should throw rubbish in the trash, we should not throw rubbish in the surrounding environment such as rivers, roads, sewers, etc. Come on, let's not throw rubbish carelessly so that the surrounding environment remains beautiful and sustainable!

She was also heavily involved in the psychoanalyst scene, and was interested in integrating and harmonising the self through the process of writing. Therefore it is no surprise that she idealised the idyllic island of Bali—a quiet refuge in which man lived in harmony with his universe....In 1955, Anaïs first took LSD under the guidance of Aldous Huxley and wrote a beautifully evocative description of her visions and subconscious landscape which included images of Javanese temples, Balinese music, symbolic dance gestures before finally finishing with the conclusion, “Ah, I cannot capture the secret of life with WORDS.” She was beginning to reveal what her soul desired deep down—for Anaïs, utopia was a state of mind in which the artist had access to the world of dreams. Perhaps this is why she fell in love with the mysticism and art of Bali. In her final journal (volume 7 of her diaries) she finished with a reflection on her trip to this island, complete with magical descriptions of sacred cremations, opulent gardens, temple dances, Wayang shadow puppets, natural-material bungalows used as hotels, the haunting music, and the sophisticated and gentle ways of the Balinese people."d and gentle ways of the Balinese people.")

Dutch-born Indonesian painter who lived on Bali.Smit was the third of eight children of a trader in cheese and confectionery in Zaandam. His family moved in 1924 to Rotterdam, where Smit eventually studied graphic design at the Academy of Arts. In his youth he was most inspired by the work of three artists named Paul (Signac, Gauguin and Cézanne). In 1938 he joined the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army. After three months he was sent to the Dutch East Indies , where he worked as a lithographer for the Dutch army's Topographical Service in Batavia, engraving relief maps of the archipelago. Etching Balinese mountains onto maps ignited his desire to one day go to Bali.In early 1942 Smit was transferred to the infantry in East Java, but was soon captured by the invading Japanese forces. He spent three and a half years in forced labor camps building roads, bridges, and railways on the Burma Railway in Thailand, and Burma. After the Japanese capitulation in August 1945, Smit convalesced in Bangkok until January 1946. After being stationed in Denpasar, Bali as a staff writer for the infantry, he returned to the Topographical Service in Batavia in September. Until its discontinuation in 1950, he remained employed at this service, eventually becoming head of the drawing department, but in his spare time he criss-crossed Java as a painter and in October 1948 had his first exhibition in Batavia/Jakarta.[5] After Indonesian Independence on December 27, 1949, all Dutch nationals had to choose between Dutch or Indonesian citizenship within two years. Smit briefly considered emigrating to South Africa, but decided to stay; he became an Indonesian citizen late in 1951. In the following years he taught graphics and lithography at the Institut Teknologi Bandung in West Java.BaliOn invitation by the Dutch artist Rudolf Bonnet he visited Bali in 1956, together with Dutch artist Auke Sonnega. He soon met art dealer James (Jimmy) Clarence Pandy, who ran a gallery and souvenir shop. Pandy invited Smit to stay in a house on stilts at the beach of Sanur. Smit and Pandy remained friends and formed a partnership. Pandy was well-connected; Sukarno would sometimes bring his state guests to his gallery. With his love for bright colors, Smit was captured by the Balinese landscapes in its 'riotous light', and soon decided to stay to depict its villages, rice terraces, palm trees and temples.In 1960, while touring the village of Penestanan in the Ubud District where he then lived, he came upon some boys drawing in the sand. Impressed by their talent, Smit invited them to his studio, where they became the first of a growing number of students. With minimal instruction but lots of encouragement and material support, his pupils created a naive style of genre painting that became known as the 'Young Artists' style, which at its peak had 300-400 followers. Though he is considered the father of the movement, its style is quite different than any of Smit's own styles over the years.From the time of his arrival in Bali, Smit moved some 40 times, "to see what is beyond the next hill". He stayed longest in his favorite areas of Karangasem and Buleleng. He finally settled in 1992 in the village of Sanggingan near Ubud under the patronage of Pande Wayan Suteja Neka, founder of the Neka Art Museum. In recognition for his role in the development of painting on the island, Smit received the Dharma Kusama (Flower of Devotion, a Balinese cultural award) in 1992 from the government of Bali. The Arie Smit Pavilion was opened at the Neka Art Museum in 1994 to display his works and those of contemporary Balinese artists. The Museum Bali in Denpasar and the Penang Museum in Malaysia also have collections of his work. Smit further had exhibits in Jakarta, Singapore, Honolulu and Tokyo. Smit lived near Ubud for the rest of his life, but died on 23 March 2016 in a hospital Denpasar at three weeks before turning 100.enpasar at three weeks before turning 100.)
