Original Batik Art Painting on Cotton Fabric, 'Butterfly' By Trisnor (45cm X 50cm)

The butterfly's attractiveness derives not only from colors and symmetry: deeper motives contribute to it. We would not think them so beautiful if they did not fly, or if they flew straight and briskly like bees, or if they stung, or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign. ~Primo Levi By adopting the Batik Tulis technique, Trisnor translated his artistic interpretations using a canting, a tool filled with hot wax that acts like a pen to resist dyes from penetrating the unwanted areas. All Batik paintings go through wax-dye-boil method, making each art a worthy treasure.
