The beauty and variety of Balinese paintings have gained the admiration of many scholars.
Previously, as here, the portraits of classic Hindu epics dominated the form of Balinese paintings.
Painting was understood as a form of prayer, if not to the Gods, then to the local palace, perceived as an embodiment of the holy. Artists would thus labor at the palace to demonstrate their loyalty to the king, or work at the temple to demonstrate their loyalty to the religious community.
The theme of these traditional Ubud paintings such as this one was around the Wayang, including stories of the gods and popular folk stories. Most importantly, this art was an expression of the community.

Artists often do not sign their work, and they were always proud if their students copied their style. To have their work imitated meant they had attained the status of a Guru, the highest honor for a Balinese.
Painting is an authentic traditional art.
