the dancing ritual / purwa

1/1 NFT from original oil painting Oil paint on canvas 11/2025 Bali, Indonesia 120 x 100 cm (48” x 40”) Collector receives the painting unframed and rolled, shipping worldwide. These paintings are inspired by the gestural and colors from balinese traditional dance, evolving on a 3 phase-arc, the beginning (purwa), establishing character and control, the middle (madhya), where the core action happens, a rhytmic and dramatic acceleration, a dialogue between the dancers, and finally the closure (wasana), where the energy descends, returning to stillness and clearness. The brushstrokes not only evoke painting movements but are based on steps of various dance positions, color being the performer or vessel to it. https://www.lisannehaack.art/
