About the artwork
Tjokorda knows exactly how to simplify his figures up to the point where they best represent the idea, the concept and the feeling. Even within the textures, the figures are seldom enriched with extensive layers of bold colors, fierce brushstrokes and energetic lines which depict the amount of passion and vivacity that lies in their body. In contrast the background is surrounding them with delicacy of carefully chosen monotonous patterns.
