"Between the Spear and the Thorn" Painting

Martinus Sumbaji's artwork is a visual adventure that takes us through the depths of human emotion and imagination. Born in Sumatra and now working from Gianyar, Bali, Sumbaji never limits his creativity to one particular theme. He lets his thoughts flow freely, producing spontaneous lines and passionate washes of color. For Sumbaji, painting is a spiritual journey. This is very visible in his sacred works which often highlight Christian dogma and symbols. He often transforms iconic symbols—such as crosses, lions, lambs, and even crowns—into contemporary works that are strong and full of meaning. With touches of street art styles such as graffiti and the use of recycled materials, each painting conveys a story of deep inner contemplation. The collection offered is real evidence of the artist's life journey and struggles that you can now own. Through this work, you not only decorate the space with stunning aesthetics, but also bring home a piece of Bali's inspiring story to the world.
