October 2022 – Surrounded by the lush greenery and artistic spirit of Ubud, Amandari upholds local cultural values through a curated solo exhibition titled KAHYANGAN in collaboration with Balinese artist, I Wayan Januariawan. The series of paintings are inspired by Balinese floras, daily traditional life, and the natural island landscape which are showcased at The Restaurant and The Library at Amandari until 31 October 2022.
‘Kahyangan’ means heaven, and the exhibition, open to the public, invites visitors to discover the meaningful artworks created through a meditative process, peaceful state of mind and an inseparable sense of beauty of human beings. I Wayan Januariawan invites guests to explore and immerse inside the world of nature and bliss he conveys through his artworks.
The beautifully hand-drawn painting series by I Wayan Januariawan includes Heliconia Colour, Banana Flower, Banana Leaf, Heliconia Beauty, Banana Garden, Andong Leaf, Good Morning, Heliconia, Morning at Indus, Paradiso, Morning Flash.
Inspired by the traditional Balinese village on the verdant lip of the Ayung River Gorge overlooking natural forest and an emerald green cascade of rice paddies, Amandari is the perfect setting for guests to immerse in a rich historical and cultural essence of Bali. Ubud itself is known as one of the areas in Bali that upholds the sacred traditions that the Balinese have practiced for centuries. Amandari is an idyllic destination to discover the timeless appeal of this extraordinary island.

An Honorable Balinese Artist
I Wayan Januariawan also known as ‘Donal’ grew up in Ubud, the center of Bali’s artisanal traditions and rich heritage. His artworks are the reflection of his appreciation of ordinary objects which he transforms into meaningful art which is expressed on canvas. The vision of his hand-painting is to depict the natural landscape to release a common notion of Balinese scenic fantasy.

ABOUT AMAN
Aman was founded in 1988 with the vision of building a collection of intimate retreats with the unassuming, warm hospitality of a gracious private home. The first, Amanpuri (place of peace), in Phuket, Thailand, introduced the concept and, since then, Aman has grown to encompass 34 exquisitely serene hotels and resorts in 20 destinations across the world, with a further nine projects in the pipeline. In such spectacular settings, Aman has honed its offering with its transformative influence on mind, body and spirit through harmoniously designed environments transporting guests out of their everyday lives. Twelve properties also offer private branded Residences: sanctuaries that go beyond commonplace notions of luxury allowing a select few to make the Aman way of life a permanent reality.
In recent years, Aman has grown to offer its coveted lifestyle beyond the parameters of its havens. In 2018, the introduction of Aman Skincare continued the brand’s holistic influence, offering beautiful, scented formulas using powerful all-natural ingredients and inspired by Aman Spas. The introduction of Sva – a range of supplements designed to help maintain optimum health – and Aman Fine Fragrance in 2020 continued this journey, bringing Aman into the comfort of home. This sentiment was echoed in 2021, with the arrival of a new retail collection, Aman Essentials, comprising timeless ready-to-wear pieces that answer the needs of every Aman guest.
With innovation a cornerstone of the brand’s philosophy, in 2020 Aman welcomed a new hotel brand, Janu – meaning ‘soul’ in Sanskrit. Janu offers a unique take on hospitality where genuine human interaction, playful expression and social wellness are at the core of the experience. Janu aims to bring balance to the head and heart and rekindle the soul. Three forthcoming Janu hotels are already under construction: Tokyo; AlUla in Saudi Arabia and Montenegro.
