History of Egg Painting

             The history of egg painting is an ancient art in expressing the beginning and struggle of life. The egg is symbolized as the source of life protected by its fragile shell. This process of painting on the egg shell symbolized our human expressions and creativity. By creating beauty on this fragile shell, we can change our perspective towards life and how much beauty we can bring to our small and fragile existence.

           Although this self reflection process was left behind with other types of commercialized media, the egg painting was used as symbols in celebrations and ceremony such as Faskah (Easter), Christmas, Ngaben and etc. In Bali, we still hold dear this symbol of expression for the human existence and our creations and still continue to practice its process of beauty, which is adorn my many International tourists and admirers of life.
