A Sydney native does not only find Bali luxury villas and Bali villas resort the only nice things about Bali. He too has been charmed by the great waves of Bali that are perfect for the surfing lovers.
Clayton Barr, who finished Graphic Design in Sydney and had a corporate job at an advertising agency, always found himself thinking about Bali’s waves and charm. This made him want to go back to the island of the gods with so many luxurious private villas in Bali and asked Quicksilver Australia to assign him to its Bali office.
When he got to Bali, he only had a one-way ticket and no reassurance or promise from the company of a good life there. But lucky as he is, he got a job at a surf-wear company as its illustrator. This made him very happy as he could make his love for the art a means for his living.
‘‘There are lots of creative elements in surfing from the design and craftsmanship in surfboards, the board shorts and T-shirts. It’s a creative hub and a cool place to hang,” he said.
Today, his masterpiece has gone viral worldwide. The Summer the Surfer Girl was created in 1998 when an all-girls surf shop opened in Bali, courtesy of his friend and mentor, Steve Palmer.
Today, he is having his own exhibit entitled “Mysterioso” wherein he bases his artworks on his observations of life. He also likens art to surfing saying that it is a channel by which we can observe life. For him, surfing is a “time-out” zone that gives him the chance to detach himself from everyday life and evaluate life objectively.
‘‘There are always so many things happening in everyday street scenes, especially in Indonesia. Even if you do nothing, the energy inside you is always moving with the sights, sounds, characters and color,” he said.
