Its irresistible lure hardly needs introduction: Bali’s, “Isle of the Gods” remains not only a fantastic travel destination, many visiting artists have also fallen under the magic spell of the island during the course of history.

Many stayed either permanently or only very reluctantly returned to their home countries after many years in residence.

In Bali, Isle of the Gods, we bring together a sample of the beautiful works by famous artists, including Dutch- born Arie Smit and Hofker, Dullah, Lanusa, and local artists like I. Nyoman Sukaya. One way or another, they all lived the Bali life or are living it today, its magic beauty changing them forever.
