Interview with Putu at Pawitra Sari Gallery in Bali
The owner and operator of Pawitra Sari Gallery in Mas, is Putu. He was kind enough to show me round and explain a few things. When I visited the gallery was empty, except for the ladies outside making baskets. I asked the prices and they told me between 200,000-400,000rp depending on the size. Feel free to negotiate. I did not ask the the prices of the paintings or carvings. The Ubud area is full of galleries, most of which are showrooms, with a single or a handful of artists offering their work. I sense this place is trying to be more, but they need a lot more stuff on show.

Pawitra Sari Gallery in Mas Bali
Riding home after checking out the temple, I swung round a bend and saw a sign that said ‘Pawitra Sari - Visual Art Center’. Curious, I dismounted and while removing my helmet was greeted by the staff who invited me in to take a look. Pawitra Sari is a 2-story place that features oil paintings in traditional Balinese style and modern carving. They gave me a brochure, in Bahasa Indonesia, that gives a pretty good insight into the artists who display here.

Highlights of Ubud Bali
Ubud is known as the cultural center of Bali, at least by westerners. For sure it has more than its fair share of arts and crafts and the Balinese who live there are extremely serious about their ceremonies and dances.
