Dewi Danu by Wayan Suastama

Description

Dewi Danu by Wayan Suastama, 2024.

Dewi Danu by Wayan Suastama is exhibited in ‘Path of Time, a Returning’—a dual exhibition with fellow artist Made Duatmika at Santrian Art Gallery in January until February 2025.

This painting depicts how intelligent our ancestors were in maintaining human relations with nature and other creatures so that they remain in harmony with “Dewi Danu” (the figure of the goddess who protects water) who is none other than the existence of the energy force of the universe. This is how the ancestors made energy sacred by deifying it so that its continuity is maintained by Ritual cultural behaviour as a form of devotion and gratitude towards the universe
