One of our Balinese emerging artists, I Wayan Januariawan (known by his artist name, I Wayan Donal), was born in Ubud, January 18th 1986. He has hobbies in painting since his childhood, and he likes to paint en plein air (or ‘on the spot painting’ as he likes to call it) capturing everyday life in his hometown of Ubud by painting the people, animals, food and landscapes.
When artists host the lunch, the food becomes performance arts. Collaborating with fascinating contemporary Balinese artists, I Wayan Donal and Nyoman Sujana Kenyem, Komaneka launches a series that brings artists and the people interested in their works closer together.
If you have flown thousands miles to explore the Island of Gods, you should not miss one of the most important cultural religious ceremonies, Galungan.
Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride of late, hasn’t it? One minute we were all feeling free to arrange our trips overseas, visit the gym, watch sunset at the beach with friends and give high-five to almost every person you met. And then boom, COVID-19 attacks.
In the light of evolving Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, Komaneka Family is implementing our new routines on a daily basis to maintain the health and safety of our guests when they start to travel and visit their home in Bali again.
At the moment, governments around the world are attempting to 'flatten the curve' of the coronavirus outbreak. This includes a global movement to #StayAtHome and minimize human contact, which causes us staying home in an attempt to reduce the spread of the virus.
The ancient Balinese believe in mutual dualism, which is the idea that two opposite things depend on each other to exist.
The only thing that could halt all the activities in the busy island of Bali is Nyepi – the day of silence.
