The Art Villages of Ubud



Breakfast @ Agung Raka
After a peaceful slumber and sumptuous breakfast, we decide to explore the art villages of Ubud. We are guided by our garrulous cab driver, Mr.Ketut Ardana. "Balinese are happy people. Simple. No money but shtill very happy. Always smiling", he says. We concur.
We visit Ayu Mas Lukisan , a painting art studio. Mr Ketut informs us that such studios are owned by village communities in which many artists work together to develop their ideas and sell their paintings. A share of the proceeds from selling a painting goes to benefit the community.

After buying a couple of Balinese paintings, we head to Sila Gallery, where wood carving is systematically carried out by dexterous young  men.
