Batuan School artists have always worked without western influences in terms of composition & content. Artists working in the Batun style tend to incorporate human beings going about their daily lives amid mythological & spiritual beings, monsters, demons, and all manner of malevolent creatures, all compounded in densely forested jungle strata.
