About this item

"Three Javanese women sit sit-by-side at the Ubud marketplace in this oil on canvas painting from Javanese artist Purwadi. The women, all clad in blue, await the day's customers with various postures. One woman looks down, preoccupied by something unseen. The middle woman gazes ahead, unfocused; perhaps dreaming of the work day's end. The woman at right is ready for business, her posture erect and her eyes calculating. Purwadi renders the women in strong lines and somber colors, conveying the harsh reality of their daily lives."

Purwadi

Purwadi original paintings

Purwadi was born in central Java on November 16, 1960. He learned to paint at a very young age, along with many kids from his village. He went to university and soon realized that painting meant too much for him to be left as a hobby, so he dropped out of his course to become fully dedicated to his art. This was not an easy decision to make, as Purwadi met a lot of opposition from family and friends - they did not think he would be able to make a living out of painting.
