His expressive and Asian colors following paintings have captured moments that combine ancient traditions with modern influences.

Characteristic for these expressive paintings of Iz Maglow are dominant structures that combine all  elements in these pictures and create one single mesh. Doing so the art painter reflects a Bali impressions of most visitors on this tropical island, where all handmade arts, temple carvings and ceremony-decorations melt together to one woven image.
