Solo Oil Painting Exhibition by Budi Utama Siagian was held at Garden Villa in Ipoh,Perak for a week. He is one of the international artist who I wish to meet. He got his own character and thought on his every single painting. And now,have the chance to view an exhibit of his artworks. How come I can miss...LOL



Budi Utama Siagian, and "Giantamabudi" is the nickname signed on his painting. He was born in Kisaran, Indonesia in 1965. His early education is at senior high school in Kisaran. Then continued his studies in Indonesia Islam University, Yogyakarta in 1985 majoring in "textile" until he obtained a Bachelor's degree.





After staying in Yogyakarta in 1986 and 1987, he started painting automatically without prior knowledge. He returned to Medan and chose painting as a career in 1998.

The mysterious of Herreninsel and Fraueninsel

Read from a magazine; get to know about these 2mysterious islands. Start to love these 2 islands because of the beautiful and unique scene. Have you heard about Herreninsel and Fraueninsel before?

The mysterious of Herreninsel and Fraueninsel.



The well-known of Herreninsel, also named as "gentlemen's island" is located at Chiemsee, Germany. The grandness palace, fountains in the castle’s gardens, represents the characteristic and power of Herreninsel. Ladies are not allowed step into Herreninsel Island in order to avoid friar's distraction. It's became an isolation island from the world later. In 1873, The King of Bavaria, Ludwig II bought this island because of the beautiful scene and the Herrenchiemsee had constructed. The design of the Royal Palace Herrenchiemsee is according to the French Versailles Palace. The most magnificent of the palace is reach hundred meters grand hall is larger than Versailles Palace's hall. What a pity Ludwig II has only remained nine days and never come back after left. Now the palace is opening to the outsiders for a visit (must led by tour guide and only 30mins for an entry). The palace will be closed when New Year, Shrove Tuesday and Christmas.

Fountains in the castle's garden



It’s taken 15 minutes from Herreninsel Island to Fraueninsel Island (also known as Ladies’ Island) by boat. The tranquility of Fraueninsel is different if compared with the grand magnificent sight of Herreninsel. The tranquil atmosphere makes people feel more comfortable and relax. The only similar thing between these 2mysterious islands is Nuns there never left the island because of the monastery's strict stipulation. Now, the only has 50 households and around 300 inhabitants on the entire island (female and male included). Believe that Fraueninsel is earlier got to outsiders compared with Herreninsel. Now, Fraueninsel has attracted many artists, the poet and the painters migrate there.
