When Balinese contemporary artist Ni Way paints, she doesn’t merely translate what she sees—she channels what she feels. Her latest solo exhibition, “Heartbeat Rhythm,” opening October 3, 2025, at the Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel in Kuta, is an exploration of life’s pulse: the unseen rhythm that ties emotion, nature, and humanity into one universal beat.

The exhibition—running until November 3, 2025—features a series of paintings alive with energy, layered textures, and vivid hues. Each piece invites viewers to pause and tune into the rhythm within themselves.

“These works are born from what I feel rather than what I see,” Ni Way shares. “I hope visitors find a rhythm in the artwork that resonates with their own journey—a heartbeat they can recognize.”

The showcase forms part of Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel’s 35th anniversary celebration, a milestone honoring the hotel’s legacy as one of Bali’s leading destinations for both hospitality and culture.

“As we commemorate 35 incredible years, we’re proud to support local creativity and provide a platform for artists like Ni Way,” says Luis Daniel Garcia, General Manager of Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel. “Heartbeat Rhythm reflects our ongoing commitment to blending world-class hospitality with the soul of Balinese culture.”

The opening night promises an immersive experience, with live music, cocktails, canapés, and an opportunity to meet Ni Way herself. Visitors can explore each painting up close and even acquire select pieces during the exhibition period.

More than an art showcase, Heartbeat Rhythm is an emotional journey—a dialogue between color and feeling, between artist and audience. It’s a celebration of resilience, movement, and the simple yet profound beauty of being alive.***
