"Taksu" is the result of the experience at the ARMA Museum Foundation, located in the town of Ubud, Bali, Indonesia during the month of July 2009. The second artist residency in July 2010 qualifies it as "Taksu of Bali"
..."The concept of taksu is important to the Balinese, in fact to any artist. I do not think one can simply plan to paint a beautiful painting, a perfect painting. The issue of taksu is also one of honesty, for the artist and the viewer. An artist will follow his heart or instinct, and he will not care what other people think. A painting that has magic does not need to be elaborated upon, the painting alone speaks. A work of art that is difficult to describe in words has to be seen with the eyes and a heart that is open and not influenced by the name of the painter. In this honesty, there is a purity of connection between the viewer and the viewed." Agung Rai
