LOVE BLOWS FROM REUNION
Episode 238: LOUVRE MUSEUM

    As expected by Silvy, what is uploaded on social media and on the website, will get a response from people who see it. Including black orchid paintings made by Yuni, which were uploaded on the Yudi's Gallery page. Silvy titled the painting "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID", a rare flower of black orchids. Comments immediately popped up.

    "Is this a real painting?" there's a comment from Yuni's painting.

    "Is it really this girl's painting?" next comment.

    "Where can we see this painting?" comments appear again.

    Sure, in the morning at breakfast together, Silvy immediately conveyed those questions to his father.

    "Pah .., this is a post painting Yuni black orchid yesterday, many people asked. The average foreigner, because the questions are all foreign languages .... How, Pah?" silvy asked Yudi.

    "At what question, Brother ...?" tanya Yuni who was also curious.

    "This, you know .... Like this ..." replied Silvy who immediately showed me the tab.

    Yudi observed his son's tab. Likewise, Yuni, who was certainly curious about what her brother said.

    "What's wrong?" ask Rini who was also curious.

    Surely Rini is interested in Yuni paintings that have been uploaded by Silvy. Last night Yudi told me about a black orchid painting made by her son. He said the painting was very nice and detailed. Yudi also recounted that when Yuni met the painters in Ubud Bali, Yuni's painting style immediately changed. Yuni has left the style of Jogja. Of course because Yuni has received input from Ubud artists. At least Yuni's knowledge of painting procedures and styles in painting, began to run from the style of Jogja painters.

    Indeed, before being invited by his father to Ubud, Yuni was only familiar with Jogja painters, whose painting flow adhered to the teachings of ISI Jogja. But in Ubud, famous painters from various parts of the world, gathered there. They carry their own flow. The style of painting is different too.

    But then again, Yuni was a genius boy. He is able to filter various sciences. Even Yuni was able to combine and modify the knowledge he received. Of course it is precisely from the various streams of painting that can coexist in Ubud Bali that, Yuni insights developed into a difference with the painters of Jogja. Including running away from the way of painting taught by his father. Yuni has found a distinctive feature in painting.

    "Well ..., how is this?" ask Silvy who certainly wants to answer the comments that keep popping up.

    "Jawab just 'Please come to Yudi's Gallery', just like that ..." said Yudi lightly.

    "Oh, yes .... So later they will come here yes, Pah ..." said Silvy.

    "Rubber .... Addition also, 'Rarid black orchids are native in Nirwana Orchid Park', so .... Let someone else buy your orchid later.." - timpal mother.

    "Rubber, Mah .... That's the name, once clutching the paddle, two three places visited all .... Hehe ..." replied Silvy who had understood his mother's input.

    Yes, indeed after Silvy uploaded the painting "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" that, especially on the Nirwana Orchid Garden website, Yayan and Silvy orchid gardens became crowded visitors. Especially the orchid collectors who want to see the rare plants. Especially if it matches the price, you can buy it later.

    At Yudi's Gallery, the painting "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" has been installed in the main room of the second floor. The painting with a size of ninety times one hundred and twenty inches was given a finely carved teak wood frame. Yudi put the painting of his son on the main wall, deliberately not accompanied by other paintings. Of course, the hope of Yudi painting his son was the main focus for art lovers.

    As the answer given by Silvy on the Yudi's Gallery page, to see "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" please visit Yudi's Gallery. To watch "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" please visit Yudi's Gallery. Art lovers from various countries came, wanting to see the painting. Not only looking, but also buying. Some visitors even offer prices. If local visitors, tourists from within the country, at most tell the gallery guard officers like this, "Mbak, if I may buy this painting a hundred thousand, yes ...." It has been offered that way, usually still want to hold the painting, even though there are rules in the gallery should not touch the painting. It certainly irritates the officers. But if you come to the gallery foreign tourists, usually Europeans, just look from afar the price offer is already above ten thousand dollars.

    Again, Yudi deliberately did not put a price tag on Yuni's painting. Even Yudi had not answered if anyone asked, how much the painting would be sold. To avoid visitors asking for prices, Yudi told his employees to write, "Will be auctioned on Yuni's birthday". Yes, Yudi plans to auction the painting "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" on his son's birthday, in June, which is just a few days away. Yudi wants his son's birthday to be commemorated by holding a painting exhibition in his gallery.

    Silvy immediately posted his father's plan. He wrote on the page, again about "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID", but there was added the words "FOR SALE", then also listed the word "WILL BE AUCTIONED IN JUNE", too", which is quite big. Silvy also listed the auction date. Of course the news became the record of world-level painting art collectors.

    Like the calendar set by Yudi's Gallery, Yuni's ninth birthday, Yuni's age is even nine years, enlivened by holding a large painting exhibition. Yudi not only invited artists from Jogja, but also artists from Ubud Bali, which some time ago he met with his son. Of course, the painters who can participate in the exhibition at the Yuni birthday event, are very happy because they feel they have the honor to exhibit at an international event.

    Rini also accompanied Yuni and her husband. But Rini wasn't wearing a suit. He was only wearing a blouse suit in gray. Of course it is still in line with the color of the child's and her husband's suit. The three of them, Rini, Yuni and Yudi, stood beside the painting "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID". Of course the three of them received congratulations and shook hands with all the guests who attended the exhibition.

    In the basement, Yudi's Gallery's collection of paintings are all displayed lined up in an oval room. Intentionally not mixed with the works of painters who participated in the exhibition, placed into one temporarily so as not to be exchanged or carried away by other exhibitors. Other basements, such as the tube room, pyramid, and other rooms, are used to hold the works of the painters who participated in the exhibition. The average painter from Jogja, Solo and Jakarta. There are many who attend the exhibition. Of course, the number of paintings is also many. But the price tag on the paintings was only one to ten million.

    While in the upper room, most of them are the works of Yudi and Yuni. There are only a few other works that do not belong to Yudi and Yuni, namely the paintings of artists from Ubud who were invited specifically by Yudi, as his respect when willing to accept his son when visiting his painting studio.

    As previously thought, surely the visitors will flock to see the painting Yuni "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID". Especially the collectors who came from Europe, who wanted to buy the Yuni painting. Yes, a very special painting. Of course, the senior or professional painters, very surprised and amazed by the work of the nine-year-old boy.

    The long-awaited time, the auction event for the sale of the painting "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" began. Initially Yudi gave the word welcome first, as an introduction to selling the painting. Yudi and Yuni did not expect a high price, but begged that his son's painting could enter one of the art museums in Europe.

    "My daughter doesn't go to school, because the teachers can't teach her. But we are trying to develop her talent. In fact, Yuni can make spectacular paintings." Yudi explained that his son could not go to school because his teacher could not teach, so the Yudi family educated Yuni independently.

    "I don't sell the painting "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" for money, but I hope that Yuni's painting can be included in the art museum as an education for children in the field of painting."

    So was Yudi's welcome, which certainly received a very lively applause from the visitors who were mostly foreigners. Of course among the visitors was a journalist, who would later write the news of the sale of the painting "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID.

    "Yuni, how much will the painting sell for?" ask one of the reporters from America, who wants to know the price of the painting.

    "I don't give a price. But who is willing to pay to be submitted as learning material, he is the one who has the right to take this painting to the museum." yuni replied which really surprised the collectors.

    Again, a very loud applause was heard from the visitors.

    "I can afford ten thousand dollars. Later I will submit it to a museum in the United States." collectors from the United States immediately bid ten thousand dollars.

    "I paid ten thousand euros, for an art museum in Italy." It's probably a collector from Italy, who paid ten thousand Euros.

    Various offers keep popping up. Of course these collectors wanted to personally own a Yuni painting. But it has been conveyed by Yudi, if Yuni's painting "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" can enter the museum, not just a private collection.

    "I'll pay twenty-five thousand euros, for Louvre Museum in France."

    The atmosphere was silent for a moment, waiting for offers from other visitors. But apparently no one is bidding anymore.

    "If there is no more bidding, then we will gladly hand over the "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" painting to the benefit for the Louvre Museum in France." Yudi received a generous offer from France, which later revealed that Yuni's paintings would be handed over to the Louvre Museum in France.

    A standing ovation from the visitors appreciated the philanthropist. Of course many are proud, as a rich collector, will present his collection of paintings in a famous museum in France.

    Not to be left behind, the reporters immediately captured the moment. Then momfoto in the collector's position stands with Yuni on the right and left side of the painting that is still hanging on the wall. Furthermore, in the position of Yudi accompanied the benefactor of the painting's buyer, while Rini accompanied Yuni. And the last photo session was when Yuni handed over the painting to the buyer.

    Surely the news will be splashy on newspapers and art magazines around the world.

   The Louvre Museum is a famous art museum in France. Even the Louvre Museum is known throughout Europe and the world. Of course because in this museum there is one of the relics of the work that is so phenomenal and very famous that the painting Monalisa by Leonardo Da Vinci. Monalisa's historic paintings make this museum visited by many tourists from all over the world. But not only Monalisa paintings that attract attention in the Louvre Museum, this museum collection stores various objects or works of art and history in this museum.

    And now, Yuni's "RARE FLOWER BLACK ORCHID" will be displayed at the Louvre Museum.
