leaf and tree

Aldi's glowing painting depicts the sengon tree, an important resource in Indonesia because of its fast-growing, high quality wood. The Javanese artisan uses a sunset gradient to paint the background, giving the work a warm, welcoming ambiance.

Storms come and go, Javanese artist Aldi remarks, but the centuries-old tree in his acrylic painting stands the test of time. Painted in dark colors, the old tree creates a gnarled silhouette against a bruised purple sky.

Inspired by the adaptive nature of the forest, Aldi in Java creates this striking acrylic painting from a combination of secondary colors: orange, green, and purple. The artisan remarks that he sees his work as "a lesson that in any situation we must be able to adapt, just as trees shed their leaves in the dry season."

Using a pointillism technique characteristic of early Impressionism, Nyoman Tomblos paints a scene near his village in the Gianyar regency of Bali. The artisan creates the painting with colorful dabs of acrylic paint and lots of shifting green hues that bring the forest to life.

Nyoman Tomblos paints Cheking Tegalalang, better known as the famous rice terraces in the town of Ubud, Bali. The artisan, who lives in Bali's Gianyar regency where Ubud is located, paints a familiar scene to him, using a pointillist style reminiscent of the early Impressionists.

The blooming trees on Aldi's acrylic painting inspire fresh hope for the new spring season. The Javanese artisan uses splashes of vibrant green paint to describe the lush foliage, which pops beautifully against a dark night sky.

A lesson in patience and longevity, Aldi's acrylic painting pays homage to an old forest full of large, hardy trees. "The differences in seasons and weather make the tree strong," remarks the Javanese artisan, who uses a predominantly green palette to convey the health of the forest.

This gorgeous landscape painting is the original work of Javanese artist Aldi. He works in acrylics on canvas to paint the soothing mountain scene.

"The pine forest is cool and functions as a medicinal plant, which is beneficial for human life," says Javanese artist Aldi, who depicts a row of cool-hued pine trees in his lovely landscape painting. The artist uses needle-like strokes to create the details on the trees, which stand in front of a deep blue night sky.

An impressionist glimpse of Bali's enchantment takes over this acrylic on paper painting by Made Artini. A myriad of leaves makes the perfect background for this nature-themed composition, portraying colorful birds and flowers in a seemingly paradisial environment.

The artwork arrives signed and stretched.

"We as God's creatures must have peaceful feelings and hearts. A peaceful heart allows us to forgive each other for all mistakes, maintain good relations with fellow creatures of God and be grateful for what we have and are. If we can live from the heart, we will feel grateful and will always be at peace" says Aldi.

In his painting, free-flying doves symbolize world peace, and two hands shake in accord, forming a united, yet diverse forest in this dreamy acrylic painting fashioned in the surrealist style.

"Standing as a metaphor for the process of globalization and free movement of people, the greeting of hands is the unification of all continents of the globe, while the trees bridge the gap as the diverse population of the globe."

The artist says his painting interprets world peace as the only way for the relationship between God, humans and the environment to prosper — to be able to forgive each other and set aside common differences.
