Founded by Tommy Diary, famously known as Made Ary, the gallery was conceived after the realisation that today’s generation has seemingly forgotten about the Ubud School of Painting and how the Ubud style painting, which is a fundamental part of the Balinese art history, is not picked up by today’s’ young artists. The gallery’s main mission is to promote the Ubud style of painting, therefore, the Ubud style becomes the focal point of this new gallery, with the goal to preserve and revive the Ubud School of Painting.
Inside this Bali art space, visitors will find the works of over 20 distinguished Ubud-style Balinese artists showcased along the walls. Each artist takes on the Ubud-style, although with their respective subjects and personal interpretations. Additionally, the gallery not only exhibits paintings but also displays a collection of wooden antiquities and artefacts. The design of the building itself extends its devotion to Indonesian culture by incorporating carved doorways and decorations. Other than the gallery, Ubud Diary also features a villa. Keeping up with the latest technology, each artwork displayed features a QR-Code, which when scanned through the Ubud Diary mobile application, contains information and details about the artworks.
