At his understated and cool roadside Gilimanuk majors that we can mark it with a special board that describes kesenimanannya .
He had become a drawing teacher in junior high school in Mengwi , was also a student in the art at the beginning of the Udayana University in Bali 's oldest . But he then decided to drop out , and chose to become a painter and concurrent civil servants .

 " I only stopped painting since college when aged about 20 years until now, so it's been almost 45 years , the exhibition dozens of times , published in the magazine a hundred times , 20 times and recorded television lecturers interviewed more than 10 times , including by a lecturer who once opposed bow with me , "said Beryar , her nickname .
One of her sons is also a painter , initially studying at SMSR then proceed to Yogya ISI and now it has often exhibited as an artist qualified to represent Bali in the Guged City .
" I own a lot to learn from children , often collaborate to make the exhibition but I never felt smarter or more stupid , as artists all have their own flow and purpose , " he said eagerly .
His achievements as a portrait painter as he showed with documentation submitted work orders to many figures . Almost all regents in Bali ever painted , as well as governors , community leaders , clergy to the average person.
Aside from being a realist painter since his time Beryas also regent of Badung still shaking by Wayan Dana was acting as a temporary employee . Used to be called public relations staff , its job photographing every move and behavior of the regent . Supposing the regents began to wake up in the morning to sleep again at night .
" It was deliberate , because when there is an event and it's time to pack regents Pak Wayan Fund had no one who expertly photographed , I ditawarin and I would love than idle , since that's my duty to take pictures at the same time send news newspaper in Denpasar , ranging of the Bali Post , Nusa Tenggara , Karya Bakti , also gave the release to the correspondent central newspapers ranging from Sinar Harapan , AFP , Reuters , Sovereignty , Mind and weekly magazines , " he said proudly impressed .
When he works like a sweatshop worker , dawn to dusk served as regent of public relations , the night became a painter who remain productive , both work for the customer who ordered portraits or for exhibition .
" Since the first Bali arts festival in 1979 I always include the paintings to be exhibited , and it continues to this day , " he said proudly .
Painting and became a public relations staff deems fit ngepas job , from photographing and making Beryas news release claiming to be able to get familiar with the experience of many officials . The benefit is , in his spare time can be painted the official portrait and when in a state of destitute he could deliver the portrait to get a reward .
" This is not blackmail or Nodong term , the pure administration of the work in exchange seiklasnya , proved they did not feel cornered and pressed gently , their officials were even happy to put up a picture on the wall of his office or at his home until now, " said Beryas .
In addition to making the release of the visit , Beryas also sometimes photographing unique events during the official visit to the corners . He is the author of allround the term , ranging from farmers around eel , trade makers shaved ice chips until written with passion , when loaded then clipping him neatly . Yellowed newsprint with the printing ink fading not make hurried throw all the stuff that other people like a garbage .
" Do not underestimate the documentation , because of the long history stored here traveling the country and the nation , " he said with rhetoric . Unfortunately from where he devoted decades were also the incised sad experience unforgettable .
When retired some time ago , one of the regents gave him the gift department motorcycle , a Honda CG that are no longer clear in color . That which maketh the motor vehicle to launch a movement manover and exploring many areas .
" I feel because it may permit , the bike belongs to me , I care very well , I re-paint and smooth the situation , but once there is a change regents , new staff and then pull the bike for no apparent reason , " said the father of three sons. If auctioned she would be happy to participate in the auction . But this is the main disconnect , the motor was taken forcibly , so the term Beryas , no matter already received the blessing of the former regent , the reason for the orderly administration and inventory .
" I resigned because the grassroots and public relations staff is no longer I do not have power , especially as I did not get a temporary employee pension and not recorded in the official gazette as a civil servant so I leave it to fate motor to the rulers , " he said sadly .
Right now he's nowhere to ride scooters so battered that the modified vehicle similar to the Dutch era landlords . With the Vespa pursue every object he deems interesting painting . Forget the story of the CG honda motorcycle decades ever accompany him .
