  • 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 a</br>special experience and powerful omen. A gift from the Gods to me.”</br></br>The owl is much revered by indigenous cultures and in folklore around the world as a</br>guardian spirit, as well as a wise creature capable of extraordinary sight. Balinese</br>mythology reveals that if an owl visits a family compound while a female member is</br>pregnant this is indeed a positive sign. Burung Hantu literally translates from bahasa</br>Indonesia into the English language as ghost bird; or the owl, the mysterious bird of the</br>night.</br>“I have a unique connection with owls. It is a potent image that resonates with my heart. I</br>was intuitively led to draw the owl and then I began to include it in my works. It has now</br>manifested into a personal symbolic image, equivalent to the Barong. The owl also</br>encourages me to reflect on the joy that I derive from my family life,” says Wayan.</br>Born in Ubud, 1970, Wayan Silawasinspired by his grandfather, well known local artist</br>Wayan Barwa. From an early age he regularly visited Barwa’sstudio and gallery,</br>surrounded by the paintings of his Balinese heritage, this was the perfect scenario for a</br>child to learn to draw and paint.</br>Wayan soon became adept in the “Ubud Style” of modern traditional Balinese painting. In</br>the evolution of Balinese painting during the last century, from its origins of the Classical</br>Kamasan style that concerned teachings from the Hindu Epics, each village then began to</br>create their own distinctive style.</br>The Ubud style moved away from the religious and began to be characterized by</br>narratives that involve daily village life and depictions of rural and environmental</br>landscapes. The artists from Ubud were quick to adopt western influences in the 1930’s,</br>depth of field, shades of color, localized narratives and the development of the human</br>figure. The Kamasan style was originally a collective work and never signed by an</br>individual. The new personalized and expressive form of Balinese painting has its roots</br>firmly entrenched here in Ubud.</br></br>Wayan’s canvases are beautifully composed and resound with an overwhelming sense of</br>balance and harmony. His highly detailed works are first sketched in pencil then outlined</br>in black Chinese ink, finally they are rendered in acrylic paint with a fine kaus bamboo, a</br>small piece of bamboo crafted with a tiny point to apply the medium. A large canvas, 100 x</br>80 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.”</br></br>Wayan’s relationship with the burung hantu then activated an endearing association with</br>the people of Japan, to whom the owl is symbolic of happiness. He first visited Japan in</br>2002 and his premiere solo exhibition there was in 1998. Every year since then Wayan has </br>enjoyed the privilege of exhibiting work in galleries, department stores, even in the</br>Indonesian Consulate in Tokyo. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions in Japan, and</br>numerous other exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta, Spain and also at the prestigious Agung Rai</br>Museum of Art in Ubud.</br></br>“It’s an honor for me to be invited on intercultural exchange programs teaching young</br>Japanese students traditional Balinese painting techniques. I do this each year when I visit</br>Japan.” Wayan has since developed a healthy market for his works there and continues to</br>ell to the Japanese tourists who often visit his Ubud studio/gallery.</br></br>Wayan Sila, acrylic on Canvas, 2012,</br>45x 60cm.</br>Wayan Sila</br>Garden + Bale studio of Wayan Sila.</br>Wayan Sila. 2012, chinese ink +</br>acrylic on canvas, 60x80cm.</br>Wayan’s cooperative works with Japanese poet Yoko Jatiasih have been the focus of two books. They initially</br>collaborated in 1998 to create music and poetry for his paintings. In 2004 their first book “Kata Kata” Echoes From The</br>Woods, and then in 2010 “Pelan Pelan” were published.</br>Browsing through these books, the creative synergy between the two is easy to recognize. Yoko’s short poems, no more</br>than 6 lines, resonate with an uncomplicated intelligence. Upon the opposing page to the text are Wayan’s</br>complimentary images created especially to accompany each poem.</br>As you contemplate the words essence, as well as study Wayan’s images, the mysterious bird of the nights’full round</br>eyes are firmly transfixed upon you. The fusion of words along with the images perplex the imagination, and then defy</br>you to believe their medium is the owl’s silent and alluring gaze.</br>In 2011 Wayan relocated to his new studio gallery in Jalan Bisma in Ubud. Journey 400 meters along Jalan Bisma until the</br>roadside urban development gives way to the effervescence of the padis. Down on the right hand side nestled in the</br>sawah you will find his small abode. Look for the sign on the road then follow the narrow path that divides the green</br>swaying fields to his studio/gallery encircled by the bamboo fence.</br>Wayan has created a personal space that reflects the elements that enrich and sustain him. Situated in the middle of the</br>yard he has built a bamboo bale which functions as his studio, yet also as a place of quiet retreat. The surrounding</br>garden is abundant with organic vegetables, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, ornamental shrubs and flowers. Indeed, Wayan</br>has created his special own oasis.</br>As you enter his two Bali dogs are quick to offer enthusiastic toothy greetings. The verdant vegetation is soothing and</br>inviting. I discover two rabbits, four exotic birds and frogs and snakes frequent visitors, so Wayan tells me. Stone</br>carvings covered with brilliant green moss hide among the foliage, shrines and small Hindu temples are adorned with</br>offerings and the sweet sent of burning incense seduces the senses. An outhouse serves as a simple kitchen and two </br>rooms contain Wayan’s gallery painting collection and books for sale.</br>When we observe Wayan’s paintings we enter into a beautiful and extraordinarily tranquil world.

  • I Nyoman Popo Priyatna Danes  + (“What the modern architecture is still try“What the modern architecture is still trying to achieve today has been implemented in the traditional Balinese architecture for centuries now, where the concepts of energy conservation and environmental preservation are amongst the fundamental elements in every design.” – Popo Danes</br></br>From private homes and restaurants to starred hotels and luxury resorts, the renowned Balinese architect Nyoman Popo Danes is known for his exemplary designs that showcase a distinct flair of being in harmony with the local culture and nature. This green-conscientious architect always integrates eco-friendly aspects of Bali’s traditional architecture into his designs.</br></br>“While some architects are very focused on making their buildings look stunning from the outside, my main concern has always been the functionality of each aspect of the building. I always make sure that my designs are in harmony with their natural surroundings; that each room has a function; that a strong connection between the architecture, landscape, and interior is established. I don’t care if my architecture is not photogenic, as long as it serves its function well.”</br></br>As an international destination, Bali attracts people from all corners of the world with its uniqueness. Therefore, Popo believes that every building on the island needs to be able to help these people feel that they are in Bali. “When you travel, you want to be immersed in the local atmosphere. In Bali, a building should exude the feeling of locality so when you enter it, you know you’re not in Jakarta, Hong Kong, or anywhere else.”</br></br>The works of the two-time ASEAN Energy Award winner (in the category of Best Practice in Tropical Architecture) are known as some of the most striking in design, functionality, and environmental consciousness. Air conditioners take up the biggest energy consumption in a building, and Popo’s eco-friendly creations have the ability to ‘communicate’ with nature to lessen energy consumption through the overuse of air conditioners.</br></br>“I create buildings that have open pavilions (just like in typical Balinese buildings) to allow breeze to blow in, and I don’t put too many glass windows. Then again, air circulation or heat is not the only reason why air conditioners are overused. People also tend to turn their air conditioners on to escape from the noise pollution outside their buildings. When all windows and doors are shut, it’s quiet inside. This is where nature steps in. Towering trees can be a great noise filter, and they also serve as a fresh, cool air provider.”</br></br>From Indonesia to India and China to the Philippines, most of Popo’s architecture projects involve challenging landscapes. “It’s never easy. A lot of projects i’ve been doing so far (especially for luxury resorts) involve slanted soil, hilly surfaces and everything else not flat. Of course I can always take the easy job; for example in Bali, I get so many offers to design a building on a flat surface. The thing is, in order for me to build it, I have to get rid of a rice field. I will never build anything on a rice field. Rice field is a symbol of prosperity for the Balinese, and is home to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”e to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”)

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".</br> 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.</br> Traffic jams occur because too many people use motorized vehicles or cars and also because many road users do not comply with traffic regulations.</br> 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.</br> 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.</br> 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.</br> </br> OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OMk. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OM)

Despite Bali's status as a popular tourist destination, there's a need for better infrastructure to support economic growth and everyday activities of the people. Effective leaders should prioritize the development of suitable infrastructure without compromising environmental preservation.</br></br>Thirdly, social welfare. There exist disparities in Bali that need to be addressed. Improving access to education, focusing on public health, and increasing job opportunities with fair wages should be the primary focus of future leaders.

However, judging from the current condition of Balinese culture, it is now increasingly dim. Will the Maligia Marebu Bumi ceremony still hold Balinese culture? Because many young people have left Balinese culture, forgetting the Balinese language. Then how. I hope the government can listen to my advice. My suggestion is that the government must infuse Balinese culture to young people, by developing the entertainment industry. Countries like Japan and Korea can maintain their culture because young people watch their own culture. Most young people in Indonesia, especially in Bali watch foreign films and play foreign entertainment with a foreign culture, so that young Balinese have an interest in foreign cultures, and end up having the dream of wanting to live in a foreign country. If the government wants to develop the entertainment industry, then young people will be aware of the culture they have, so they will aspire to develop their own country. In addition to solving internal problems, the entertainment industry is very profitable. With this, Balinese culture will be increasingly recognized by the world and its influence can match Japanese and Korean culture. Then can this be realized? The Entertainment Industry can be anything, such as Movies, Animation, Games, Songs, Etc. Many Balinese HR talents are suitable for this, such as painters who will create 2D graphic designs, City People who are talented with Coding, and Undagi or Sculptors who will create 3D designs. because at this time, it is time for us to modernize our culture so that it can be accepted by our younger generation, even the world by our younger generation, even the world)
