In their daily life activities on the implementation of the religious ritual called panca yadnya (five kinds of sacred rituals), always equipped with the means upakara or offerings are laden offerings with a variety of shapes and images in the form of symbols which are religious magical. The art of offerings is the art of symbols in which concrete and abstract could create artistic as well as symbols of supernatural characters; ten characters, five characters which are applicable and have different functions. And sometimes contradictory according to the needs and intended use. From these observations arose the interpretation of a meaning that, in meeting the needs of human life, basically has two major potential attractions to each other and complementary, i.e. doing structuring/restructuring or order which is oriented on the arrangement of a better life.

The utterance of his philosophical concepts are abstracted into a work of art by combining with a representative form abstractive application through lines, colors and textures which are varied, and through impasto technique so that they reflect the authen- ticity of works of art (authenticity of the art work), aesthetic, artistic and reflection of personal value of novelty.]]>
