About the artwork
Tjokorda Bagus Wiratmaja creates art that explores the complexities and yet simplicity of nature through abstract renditions where animals appear transcendental in form. This play of making visible what appears to be invisible is a metaphoric interpretation of the elusiveness nature of animals to humans. In his pieces, shapes are forms that have their own individuality, which he feels he releases as he paints them. The freedom of his forms is expressed through texture, lines and colours, and is materialized through into something ephemeral.
