For now, I stay with Bali dance Legong, when it comes to my paintings about Indonesia. The first one was about Legong and Bali in general but here we turn to the specific dance - CANDRAWASIH DANCE or "birds of paradise". Our main figure is a Legong dancer dressed in a traditional dress for this specific dance imitating the movements...

Visiting Brazil, I passed by Salvador, not really sure what to expect. The city looks like a city in Portugal, beautiful houses, cute square, but the story behind it is much more interesting. Salvador is known by his black population because, during the slave trade, 40.000 slaves where broth to this city. I had no idea how to put that...

When I went to Mexico, I knew that I wanted to do a portrait of Frida Kahlo but didn't know it would look like this. You can say I really like her, not her work - HER. Her artwork, of course, I appreciate but her spirit I love. When I visited her house, I could see why she was inspired,...

When you come to Mexico, you will see all this colorful objects and tapestries that will surely mark your trip to Mexico. The detail drawing and all those colors will attack your attention and you will probably take a souvenir. Every time I look at Huichols Art, I feel a positive energy of colors so it just came natural to me to paint it....

I could have called this painting Brazil because I've used a woman dressed as a girl on carnival in Rio surrounded by jungle of Amazon connecting south and north of the country. But for me, I really wanted to paint Amazon and in same time couldn't see a better costume to represent it.
