Keliki Style Painting

Keliki Style Painting is one of the most popular bali paintings. The concept of taksu is important to the Balinese, in fact to any artist. I do not think one can simply plan to paint a beautiful painting, a perfect painting. The issue of taksu is also one of honesty, for the artist and the viewer. An artist will follow his heart or instinct, and will not care what other people think. A painting that has a magic does not need to be elaborated upon, the painting alone speaks.

The process of Keliki style painting is very unique and very detail because they have to do 4 steps namely, 1. sketch by pencil, 2. folowing the sketch by balinese pen, 3. making the shadow by 2 brushes and the last step they have to coloring their painting by accrilic color.

A work of art that is difficult to describe in words has to be seen with the eyes and a heart that is open and not influenced by the name of the painter. In this honesty, there is a purity in the connection between the viewer and the viewed.
