什麼是對你而言最重要的事情?
峇里島藝術家Pandi,對萬物的敬畏、虔誠的信仰、緊密的情感羈絆是他的根,在繪畫創作的出發點,樸實而直率地表現在畫作上。這份羈絆同時也是種無形的束縛,在大多數峇里島人安居的天性之下, Pandi埋藏著對於自由靈魂、藝術表現的熱烈追求,在從原本務農的素人、轉換至強烈自我表現畫者的創作歷程中,Pandi接受外來文化的刺激、這些文化卻因信仰與地緣羈絆而產生無限的想像、結合自己的異想,成為一種幻想化的平行世界,也猶如畫者欲逃離現實的意識,渴望自由的靈魂不安於室。
自由對於Pandi而言,是渴望但難以言喻,在身邊、卻又無法觸及的一種靈魂成分。
鳥兒以象徵性地存在在Pandi的每一幅作品當中,代表的或許是自我、無所拘束、對於展翅高飛的渴求…無法拘束在文辭中表達的靈魂成分,或許除了Pandi,這也是每個人一生所追求的自我課題。

關於PANDI
Pandi,1980年出生於峇里島烏布村內,在烏布村這樣一個集結文化與藝術重鎮的耳濡目染下,Pandi自幼兒時期便對繪畫產生濃厚的熱愛,許多年前當他走在村子的街道上,看見二個碧眼棕髮,身穿奇裝異服的外國人坐在傳統咖啡店裡時,心理產生莫名奇妙的視覺效應,啟動他對藝術與外來文化交融下形成的特殊美學,藉由繪畫反映真實生活境遇中一連串的人生探索。
Pandi是一位持續以自我觀點詮釋生活所見的創作者、同時也是一個家庭的爸爸、一位生活簡樸的農夫。
Pandi誠實表達心中的情感、隨心所欲地拿起畫筆作畫、擺脫普遍的價值觀,大笑、談天、畫圖、家人、朋友、信仰,對Pandi來說,這就是生活,也是自由。 這股對待家人和朋友真誠的態度,直覺地反應在畫布上,喜歡就互相擁抱、坦誠以對,從為畫而畫的簡單信念,讓我們回歸最簡單的原點:什麼才是創作的初衷?
對於Pandi而言,即便身體受限於現實壓力,開心、悲傷、生氣,但在創作的過程中心靈得到解放,懷著自由、純真、開放的那顆心,才是透過繪畫能量所獲得最珍貴的寶物。
About PANDI
Pandi was
born in 1980 in Ubud Village, Bali. Growing up in Ubud Village, a town of
diverse cultures and art, Pandi showed a strong passion for drawing at a young
age. After encountering two westerners in his hometown many years ago, he
was inspired by their brown hair and blue eyes. His fascination with them
awoke his curiosity about art and foreign cultures. This led him to paint
images that reflect daily life and create works that explore the deeper
meanings of life.
Aside from
being an artist who views life through his own unique perspective, Pandi is
also a father and a down-to-earth farmer. He expresses emotions with the
utmost sincerity, while creating works with a sense of ease and a disregard for
dogmatic values. To laugh, chat, and paint, while being surrounded by
family, friends, and faith defines Pandi’s way of life. His genuine
attitude towards family and friends are echoed through his paintings. He
expresses friendship with a warm, welcoming hug and treats friends with a loyal
sincerity. Pandi adheres to the simple principle of painting for the sake
of painting. Let us return to the simplest essence: why does one create
art?
For Pandi,
a person’s body is limited by external factors, and feelings of joy, sorrow,
and anger. However, through the creative process, a person can achieve
spiritual relief, while embracing a sense of freedom, purity, and
openness. This is what makes the practice of painting so
precious..
