Bali survivor inspires artist Jana Vodesil-Baruffi

Jana Vodesil-Baruffi
When a person becomes a victim of any atrocity like the bombing in the beautiful island of Bali, he or she would naturally be feeling hopeless and confused as to what would happen next to his life. Such is what happened to Phil Britten, the bombing survivor of Bali.

But when he met with Jana Vodesil-Baruffi, an artist, he fascinated her with his ability to reinvent himself after the incident.

Vodesil-Baruffi thinks that if you become a victim of such a very horrible violence, you tend to become full of anger. For a while then, Britten was indeed confused about what to do with his life, considering all the scars he has on his body. However, after he met with his wife, Rebecca, he finally decided to do something worthwhile with the experience he had.

This realization had led to a fruitful painting with Vodesil-Baruffi with Britten exposing the scars on his back and arms, which he happens to be carrying with him for about 10 years since that fateful day, while carrying his very own son. Vodesil-Baruffi says it is something that reflects having a new life, a new start. She also added that this strength can be passed on to his son, Riley.

As to how the artist and Britten met, it was during the time when Vodesil-Baruffi met with Rebecca so she could paint her as part of her project, the Permanent Impressions, wherein she aims to paint 50 women whose contribution to WA matters.

Bali may have been the target of terrorist attacks ten years ago, but its government and people are doing everything they can to get back up from that bombing. And today, they have taken measures to a more secure island. And so now, they have the nicest Bali luxury villas, Bali villas resort, and private villas in Bali for everyone to experience.
