Paintings from Bali
"These are very good artists from Bali that paint on oil and acrylics for paintings that I [Dominique] commission. They are great.


"He has a very vivid colorful style that reminds me of Gauguin. Quite different from the traditional balinese type that he broke away from."


"I had the one artist paint the laying woman in 4 different colors of sarongs to fit people's decors downhere. I love his work."


"I, Dominique, found this artist by accident. One of his paintings was hanging in a tiki style bar in Bali. I fell in love with the laying woman in the sarong so I tried to contact him, which took a week, and i finally met him. He is married to an australian girl and they both live in Bali and have a little boy. I commissioned him to paint 8 of those paintings, as I wanted a set for myself with 4 different sarong colors to display on the wall together, and a set to sell, originally. He paints more for me upon request, either paintings such as these or large flowers hibiscus, orchids and such. He has a wonderful style."
