Let me tell you a story about an isolated, old, and frail artist, Dewa Ketut Djatra. He made the decision to sell "THREE of the LAST paintings" he would ever make at the age of 80. His lifelong commitment to his trade was demonstrated by these paintings, which were created in the traditional Batuan Painting Style.

His creativity had been taken from him by age and weakness, leaving a legacy of artistic creation tempered with the bittersweet knowledge that his life's work had come to an end.
