Creating Ambience through Flower Palettes at the BAL Floral Exhibition Antwerpen, Belgium

The Floralien 2024 exhibition at The Meir Palace, Antwerp, Belgium, presented a floral installation themed “BAL FLORAL” inspired by the work of James Ensor. Through Yayasan Sumbang Kawruh Indonesia (SUKRI), Indonesia exhibited an installation made from local materials such as banana leaves, coconut leaves, and corn cloves combined with colorful and brightly colored flowers. This research analyses the art elements and color theory in the installation. Results showed that contrasting colors, such as red, yellow, orange, blue, purple, and green, strengthened the visual appeal and conveyed an emotional message. Indonesia's participation in this exhibition showcases the richness of Indonesian culture while demonstrating the harmony of traditional and modern art in a global context. The Bal Floral exhibition became a platform for cultural preservation, artistic expression, and international cooperation, bringing together tradition and innovation through aesthetically pleasing and meaningful installations.
