Aksara Bali is beautifully preserved in painting, and few have the skill to create or safeguard it in this unique way.

It is essential to protect and preserve culture and knowledge so that it doesn't disappear in the next 100 years. Artists like Niluh Swati play a vital role in ensuring this legacy lives on.

Having lived in Southeast Asia for many years, spending time in Thailand, Malaysia, Burma, the People’s Republic of Laos, and Singapore, I developed a deep appreciation for the region’s diverse cultures and artistic traditions. In 2002, during the early days of the internet, I ventured to Bali, drawn by its rich artistic heritage. I stayed for three months, seeking out pieces I could sell, particularly paintings that captured the natural beauty of plants, fish, and birds. During this time, I had the privilege of meeting Niluh Swati, who, along with her father, guided me in exploring Bali’s vibrant art scene. She fascinated me with her deep understanding and sensitive approach to art, her ability to see beyond the canvas and connect with the spirit of each piece. Her insight and passion made a lasting impression on me. We have remained friends over the years, and it has been fascinating and delightful to see her grow into a renowned Balinese artist and a genuinely wonderful human being. Watching her journey has been inspiring, and I feel honoured to have witnessed her rise in the world of art.

Niluh Swati’s art is truly mesmerizing. Her incredible use of color combinations breathes life into every painting, and the way she integrates her traditions into her work is simply breathtaking. Coming from a traditional country myself, I feel a deep connection to her pieces, as they evoke a sense of heritage, warmth, and spiritual depth. One painting that particularly moved me is Baby Lullaby. It’s a masterpiece like no other. The fusion of sacred mantras with angelic figures protecting the babies creates a divine energy that feels almost tangible. It’s clear that during her pregnancy, Niluh channelled something truly special into her art. Her work is more than just paintings; it’s an experience, one that touches the soul.

I received an artwork from Niluh for my birthday, personalized and full of incredible details. One of the most personal and most lovely gifts I have ever received. The artwork is a handcrafted masterpiece with impressive colors and amazing fine lines on a very special material that looks like ancient paper, captured and frozen, which makes it a timeless piece.

“It is a rare privilege to encounter an artist whose work not only speaks to the eyes but whispers directly to the soul. Niluh Swati is one such artist. Rooted deeply in the spiritual and cultural richness of Bali, her art transcends borders, blending ancient tradition with intuitive modern expression. Her ability to fuse the sacred Balinese script, Aksara Bali, into emotionally evocative compositions is nothing short of extraordinary. Each piece is not merely a painting—it is a living, breathing story imbued with blessings, mantras, and ancestral wisdom. From the gentle serenity of Everlasting Bliss to the powerful emotion in Pure Love, her works resonate with authenticity, spirit, and soul. What sets Niluh apart is not only her technical mastery but her purpose: the preservation of heritage, the honoring of identity, and the celebration of life’s sacred moments.
