She is the daughter of one of Bali\u2019s most eminent gallery owners and art curators, Nyoman Purpa, who has run a well known gallery in Ubud since 1970. Almost 2 years ago, Ari decided to follow her father\u2019s footsteps and opened her own gallery in Seminyak, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpagallerybali.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Purpa Gallery<\/strong><\/a>, a space filled with works by some of her favourite local and international artists.\u00a0 We got to know Ari and a bit about her gallery, read on to discover all the secrets of the Bali art world!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many artists do you currently have in the gallery and where do they come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have eleven artists currently exhibited at my gallery. 80% of them are Indonesian local artists and 20 % are foreign artists. One of them is the award winning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purpagallerybali.com\/artists\/mohammed.html\"><strong>Mohammed Harahap<\/strong><\/a> from Jakarta. His artworks are among the many collections at Rudana Museum &amp; Agung Rai Museum in Bali, Fukuoka Art Museum in Japan, and British International Museum in London and Jakarta. Another is Mersuka Dopazo, a Bali resident originally from Spain. Her\u00a0paintings are portraits of the world, its people and their emotions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you look for in artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, I look at their character! I like to work with an artist who is confident, someone who is humble and have so much warm energy to share, I also love beautiful colors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your favorite artist in the gallery at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My favorite artist in the gallery at the moment is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purpagallerybali.com\/artists\/mersuka.html\"><strong>Mersuka Dopazo<\/strong><\/a>.

I sold a painting by a young Balinese artist,Ketut Budiantara. It was a 100 x 150 cm. The artist painted two beautiful sisters in a mixed of green, yellow, and a gold colors. I had tears in my eyes when I had to let it go&#8230;\u00a0I really miss this painting!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any recommendations for first time buyers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buy the painting that made your heart skip a beat when you saw it for the very first time. Buying a painting is like falling in love, from the moment you saw it,\u00a0you just can&#8217;t stop thinking about\u00a0it!\u00a0And don\u2019t buy wholesale paintings, copies of masterpieces for export or\u00a0imitations with no creativity. It\u2019s far better to support and encourage young aspiring Indonesian artists. Some\u00a0of them are very talented.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7509\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/150cm-x-100cm-oil-on-canvas-150x150.jpg\" src-medium=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/150cm-x-100cm-oil-on-canvas-300x199.jpg\" src-large=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/150cm-x-100cm-oil-on-canvas-630x417.jpg\" src-full=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/150cm-x-100cm-oil-on-canvas.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/150cm-x-100cm-oil-on-canvas.jpg\" alt=\"150cm x 100cm oil on canvas\" height=\"530\" width=\"800\" class=\"wp-image-7509 size-full\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artwork from artist Rosar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>How has the gallery evolved since it\u2019s first opening in Seminyak in 2014?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have great reviews from our clients.
