Vse na Baliju izgleda, kot da je prišlo izpod rok umetnika. Na tisoče kipcev, ki krasijo vhode v templje, kipi, ki zastirajo pogled v čudovite privatne vrtove, vsak kos lesa ima svojo rezbarijo, povsod rezbarske delavnice in trgovine. Obiskala sva Neka Art Museum in si ogledala zbirko slik, ki popeljejo skozi zgodovino bailjskega slikarstva.
Moški, ki rezbarijo lesene stebričke, obnavljajo eno od hišk v bližnjem templju. Od daleč nama mahajo, naj prideva bliže in se takoj ponudijo, da narediva nekaj fotografij. Delali so cele tri dneve, ko sva se midva sprehajala mimo. Čez cesto od Tutmak cafeja, pa sta dva gospoda, v času, ko sva midva uspela pojesti kosilo, izklesala uho v steber, narejen iz žganih rdečih opek.

Everything in Bali seems to be done by an artist. They are certainly masters in wood and stone carving, but traditional painting for my taste, remains in the shadow. We visited the Neka Art Museum, that exhibits the evolution of Balinese painting. The detail of drawing is incredible, but the color palette lacks the vibrance you would expect from an island like Bali.
The man making carvings in wooden pillars are replacing a structure in next door temple. They invite us to have a look and insist we take pictures. They work for the whole three days that we have been passing by this building. Accross the street form Tutmak cafe, two man sculpt a statue out of a pile of glued brick. They make a giant ear in the same time that we had our lunch.
