About this item

"Sitting side-by-side, two saleswomen are depicted in profile in this painting from Bali. Purwadi paints this scene in a moody, expressionist style, capturing the daily life of people who sell canang in the market. Says the artist, 'Canang sari is one of the daily offerings made by Balinese Hindus to thank the Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa (Supreme God) in praise and prayer. Canang sari will be seen in the Balinese temples (pura), on small shrines in houses, and on the ground or as a part of a larger offering.'"

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.
