Executed with dynamic black crayon lines, the composition captures the mythological Barong—a lion-like creature symbolizing protection and the eternal battle between good and evil in Balinese culture.
Affandi’s signature swirling, gestural strokes are fully present in this piece, conveying intense energy and movement. Despite its abstract qualities, the Barong’s form emerges with fierce spirit and vibrant symbolism. This piece not only reflects Affandi’s emotional connection with Indonesian cultural heritage, but also his mastery of spontaneous visual storytelling.
