An grey-haired Balinese artist in the village of Pengesokan stands for his portrait. He wears no shirt as he stands besides one of his paintings barely visible at the left.
Traditionally painting and sculpting is men’s work on Bali, while women weave cloth. Both men and women do many kinds of heavy physical labor.
