Briefly

Gunawan Setiawan, a fourth generation batik maker from Solo, emphasizes that batik is more than art; it carries deep cultural significance and tradition.
Batik's colours reflect the local environment, with Solo characterized by calm tones of brown, beige, and gold, while coastal areas use blues and greens.
Setiawan states that each batik pattern conveys a specific meaning, with designs dedicated for occasions like birth, weddings, and funerals, highlighting its cultural importance.
