Brilliant garnet hemispheres draw the eye into their crimson spell. Garnets awaken the "inner fire" of creativity and attract good luck. Set amid the delicate caress of sterling silver strands, the gemstones make a mesmerizing pair of earrings. Nyoman Rena crafts them by hand and presents them in a batik box.

"A painter has a very abstract option of beauty to describe achieving peace. Beauty is infinite in this world full of peace with love for God, family, and the environment. By respecting others and caring for each other, this world will become beautiful and peaceful. If not us, who else can begin to create peace?" says Nyoman Tomblos.

"Starting in nature, peace finds its way to every corner of the globe, to every human and every animal." The Balinese artist creates an expressionist composition within the realm of the pointillist style. Every detail is created with vibrant colors. This painting suggests that all peace on Earth originates from the three main Hindu gods of Bali.

Titled "Khayangan Tiga Temple," which means "The Three Main Temples."

A faceless woman meditates as she sits on an open book. Working with the linoleum block print technique, Marina Pallares explores her global vision for world peace. The artist explains that the butterfly alighting on the corner of the book symbolizes the transformation of a being who dragged herself along the ground, but transforms into a winged creature that will take flight. Gentle doves are released from her bowed head.

"This print arose from my vision of world peace," the Mexican artist comments. "It's very similar to my ideas about ecology. Everything begins with the individual person with a global vision. That is, when we find our own inner peace, it's inevitable that we'll project it to everyone around us.

"Meditation is one of the simplest ways to gain access to our inner being. It gives us a sense of union with everything and helps us remain in the present. Meditation and education make us more conscious.

"Peace begins in oneself, on the basis of self-knowledge, self-love and education, making ourselves one hundred percent responsible for our own lives."

Titled "La paz comienza por casa" in Spanish.
