THE ABSTRACT BEAUTY OF JOHN RAYMOND AT THE LAGUNA BALI
If you look up in your room or pass through The Laguna Bali’s corridors, you might see a painting right now. A composition of neutral tones, fluid yet intentional, evoking both serenity and movement. Created by Jakarta-based artist John Raymond, these works are more than just decoration—they are an extension of The Laguna Bali’s timeless spirit, where nature and artistry intertwine in captivating harmony. John Raymond’s artistic journey began in the world of graphic design and illustration before he fully embraced painting, immersing himself in the boundless world of expressionist abstraction in 2017. Using acrylics, he explores the interplay between liquid and stillness, allowing the paint to move freely before settling into its final form. His approach is both gestural and lyrical, capturing emotions in each brushstroke. His works have graced galleries across Indonesia, but here, at The Laguna Bali, they find a unique home—one that mirrors his artistic philosophy. Just as The Laguna Bali is a sanctuary of fluid beauty, where the waves kiss the shore and the lagoons reflect the sky, John’s paintings embrace the same organic essence. Each canvas embodies a moment of transition, a balance between movement and stillness, much like the ebb and flow of the tide. To guests who pause and take in his art, John Raymond’s pieces offer more than just visual delight. They are an invitation—to linger, to reflect, and to experience the beauty of Bali not just in landscapes, but in the strokes of a brush, the depth of a hue, and the emotion captured within a frame.
