Everything you need to know before buying authentic Balinese art — online or in our Seminyak gallery.
Yes. Every artwork at Arts of Bali is handmade by verified Balinese artists — not mass-produced prints or reproductions. Paintings are created on canvas using oil or acrylic paint; wood carvings are hand-carved using traditional Balinese techniques from sustainable suar wood; metalworks are forged using ancestral methods passed down through generations. Arts of Bali works in direct collaboration with master artists in Seminyak, Gianyar, and Klungkung — ensuring no intermediary compromises the authenticity of each piece.
Yes. Selected artworks at Arts of Bali include a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) stating the artist's name, technique, medium, dimensions, and year of creation. For all custom commissions, this certificate is automatically included with the finished piece. Buyers who require a CoA for a ready-stock artwork may contact Arts of Bali via WhatsApp or email info@artsofbali.com to confirm availability for a specific piece.
Arts of Bali works with a curated roster of master artists from Bali's most celebrated art villages — Seminyak, Ubud, Gianyar, Klungkung, and Jelekong. Each artist is selected for technical mastery, depth of cultural knowledge, and commitment to authentic Balinese tradition. Our roster includes specialists in hyper-realist seascapes (Bahtiar Ifanuri), palette knife landscapes (Gandara, Upeksa), sand-textured painting (Farfan), and hyper-realistic wildlife portraiture (Alzhen).
Arts of Bali carries three main categories: (1) Lukisan — traditional Balinese ceremonial scenes (Barong, Legong, Kecak), landscape paintings (Mount Agung, rice terraces), portrait commissions, abstract textured works, and Kamasan classical paintings, in oil and acrylic on canvas; (2) Kerajinan kayu — hand-carved suar wood sculptures, Barong masks, relief panels, and decorative objects; (3) Pengerjaan logam — traditional Balinese silver jewelry, sacred objects, and Indonesian tribal artifacts. All categories are available for direct purchase or as the basis for a custom commission.
Yes. Arts of Bali carries Kamasan paintings, a classical style of Balinese painting originating from the village of Kamasan in Klungkung — recognized as one of the oldest and most sacred visual art traditions in Bali. Kamasan paintings depict Hindu-Balinese mythological narratives (Ramayana, Mahabharata, Panji tales) using natural pigments on cloth or bark. These works represent a high-value art investment with growing international collector demand.
Yes. Arts of Bali accepts custom art commissions for paintings, wood carvings, and metalworks — from both visitors at our Seminyak gallery and international clients worldwide. The process begins with a free consultation (via WhatsApp or email), followed by a visual proposal, your approval, execution by our master artist, and worldwide delivery. You do not need to be in Bali to commission a custom artwork.

Oil and acrylic paintings from Arts of Bali are extremely durable when properly maintained. Key guidelines: (1) Avoid prolonged direct sunlight — use LED lighting with UV filters; (2) Keep indoor humidity between 45–55% RH to prevent canvas expansion or contraction; (3) Never touch the painted surface with bare hands; (4) Dust with a dry, soft brush only; (5) For oil paintings, apply a protective varnish layer every 5–10 years. With proper care, a well-made Balinese painting can last for generations.
Original Balinese artworks — particularly from identified master artists — have historically demonstrated long-term value appreciation. Kamasan classical paintings, works by established Ubud and Batuan generation artists, and large-scale pieces with high technical complexity have consistently held and grown in collector value. Arts of Bali describes its collection as "investment-grade art" — pieces produced to standards of authenticity and quality that support long-term value retention. As with all art investments, appreciation cannot be guaranteed and depends on broader market factors.
Yes. Arts of Bali offers a range of works that are popular as luxury gifts, wedding presents, and corporate art for high-net-worth clients and businesses: couple paintings, spiritual and Buddha-themed works, iconic Bali landscapes, and hand-carved sculptures. For wedding or corporate gifting, Arts of Bali can provide exclusive custom packaging, a Certificate of Authenticity, and a personalized message from the artist. Contact the gallery to discuss gift curation.
Yes. Arts of Bali woodcrafts are made from suar wood (Samanea saman, also known as rain tree), a non-protected, sustainably farmed species grown across Bali and Java. Suar is an environmentally responsible choice — it grows rapidly, supports the livelihood of local craftspeople, and its use does not contribute to tropical deforestation. Arts of Bali woodcrafts comply with international export regulations and do not use any CITES-restricted wood species.
Arts of Bali is committed to buyer satisfaction. If the artwork you receive differs significantly from the website description or photography — in terms of condition, subject, or medium — contact Arts of Bali within 7 days of delivery. Our team will evaluate the claim and work toward the best resolution, which may include artwork replacement, a store credit, or a partial refund depending on the circumstances.
