There are so many different kinds of Bali art styles and themes that it is difficult to try to categorize them all. Each artist has a unique style and usually a focus for his or her art. In addition, Balinese art may also follow very traditional lines or be more of a blend of different art forms.
Bali Art
The interesting thing about the art from Bali is that each city or region of the island tends to have its own unique style. Experienced local artists and art collectors can look at a piece of art and know what village or area it came from. Some of the designs are also unique to one family of artisans.
This is true with all types of Bali arts. It is even evident in the patterns used in jewelry making and wood carving. Of course modern influences have added different elements to traditional styles, but it is still uniquely Bali in many ways.

Bali paintings and pictures
Some of the most amazing additions to any wall are Bali Paintings. These paintings, again like most art in Bali, can be very traditional and follow an historical style. Paintings such as these are known as Kamasan or, in some forms, the Wayang style.
These styles are designed to be very simplistic yet feature a specific central focus. Often this includes a hindu religious figure or theme. They also have a very specific color combination. This includes natural colors that would have traditionally been made from plants and other dyes. Usually this includes black, red, green, yellow and ochre.
Many of these paintings, which may also be listed as Bali Picture Art, are only two dimensional. This is the style that has been used traditionally across many villages in Bali, and artists continue to produce these paintings in the historical way today.
Major Bali art areas
There are several major art cities that are spread about the island. Ubud is one of the major art and cultural centers of the province. It is an art lover’s dream location with lots of galleries, local artisans and museums.
Balinese arts from the Ubud area include the traditional Wayang style, however often with very complex and detailed paintings. Over the years and to increase the appeal of the subject matter of the painting, many artists now focus in on Balinese life. Dancers, ceremonies, people, customs and the beauty of the area can all be found in the art work from Ubud.
Batuan is another artistic area of the island that has a very definable style. Not far from Ubud, the artists here historically focused on legends, lore and the mystical aspects of life. This may be in combination with religious tales or simply with real life.
These paintings tend to be highly detailed with lots of small images that are all intertwined in the overall design. The background colors tend to be dark and in high contrast to brighter colors used in the images.

European influence
The early Dutch artists had a huge impact on many Bali painters in the 1960s. These paintings are very simplistic in their depiction of objects, but they also include amazing colors. Sometimes considered to be primitive, they are absolutely beautiful and work well in all decors.
