Original Batik Art Painting on Silk, 'Abstract' by Musa (18cm x 13cm)

“Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colours, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential.” - Wassily Kandinsky.

One of our gifted Batik artisans, Musa, ingeniously transferred his intangible thoughts and emotions into something elusive, dark and mysterious. For some, an abstract is an expression of something that has stirred the imagination of the artist. Expression of emotions calls a response or the involvement of a viewer to ‘complete the picture’. Musa, our creative up-and-coming artisan creates this Painterly Automatism Batik painting made of silk by using canting, a tool that acts like a pen which dispenses hot wax to resist dyes from penetrating unwanted areas. The method can be classified as Batik Tulis.

Each painting is personally signed by the artist.
