Introduction to my Balinese painting collection.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As well as being a sewing machine collector, I also collect other items. I felt it important to share my Balinese painting collection and as I already had a webpage, I decided to tack this collection here. Maybe in time I will find dedicate a website purely to my Balinese artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, I purchased a painting at auction. No one else put in a bid. Little did I know that it was painted by a famous Balinese painter, Mangku Mura. I returned this painting to his daughter, Mangku Muriati, in the town of Klungkung in East Bali. Mangku Muriati is an artist in her own right and I had the privilege of meeting her and purchasing one of her paintings. My interest in Balinese paintings began with my chance encounter with this famous family. Below are the Balinese paintings in my collection, some Kamasan, some more modern, more than likely all are produced for the tourist market and hold no monetary value, but I just love the style and plan to collect more if they become available..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any information on any of these works, please reach out to me, I am always keen to learn more. I am not too concerned with value. I collect what I can afford and what I love. There are many paintings on the market that are just beautiful, but well out of my price range. The pieces in my collection are my “budget” paintings. Paintings created in Bali for the tourist market to be brought back by the thousands of Aussies that have been visiting the “Islands of the Gods” for many decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manku Mura. (1920-1999)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In July 2022 I purchased this painting from an auction house in Melbourne. It measures 121cm x 147cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the catalyst for my love of Kamasan paintings. It turned out to be an original painting by the master Mangku Mura, as confirmed by his daughter. I returned this painting to his daughter, Mangku Muriati, in September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
