On May 24 2024, The Hava Ubud hosted the opening of the 4th solo exhibition of the artist, Rally. Born in Yogya and now living and working in Bali, Citra Anindyto also known as “Rally” showcased 23 artworks in this show titled “Good Karma”. 

Displayed over 2 floors across the Hotel Lobby and Event Room, the works are vibrant examples of signature “aura” painting technique, each accompanied by an individual narrative which expresses the artist's ideals and strong spirituality.


The opening ceremony was attended by well-known Balinese artist, Made Djirna, who delivered a welcoming speech as well as being presented an original painting from Rally. Ms T. Cilik Pamungkas, the event curator, delivered a speech acknowledging Rally’s dedication as an artist and aura painter.

Rally began painting people's auras in 2007 after being encouraged to take Rally's passion seriously by friends and family. Then, the Indonesian painter maestro, Nasirun, had a significant impact on Rally's artistic career, supporting and facilitating Rally's first solo exhibition. Such was his impression with Rally and the aura painting Rally created for him. 


"When I brought the painting to him, he was shocked because I painted his grandfather,” Rally said.


“Good Karma" is Rally's first exhibition in Bali. This exhibition was motivated by Rally's personal dedication and spiritual journey. 


Explore the captivating evolution of Rally's work as an aura painter and immerse yourself in this insightful exhibition until June 13, 2024, at The Hava Ubud A Pramana Experience.
