Batik Painting

Batik painting is a traditional art form that uses wax and dye to create intricate patterns on fabric. The artist applies wax to areas of the cloth to resist dye, leaving those areas uncolored. Multiple dyeing and waxing processes can produce detailed, colorful designs with complex patterns. The wax acts as a barrier, allowing precise control over where colors appear. Originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, batik is both a decorative craft and a cultural expression, showcasing craftsmanship through its detailed motifs and vibrant colors.
