Abstract

Lombok, as one of the islands in Indonesia, is renowned for its cultural richness and the creativity of its people in developing crafts. The village of Labuapi in West Lombok, in particular, is well-known for its craftsmanship of wooden masks, renowned for their high artistic value and distinctive carved motifs. These wooden masks serve not only as performance props and decorations but also as three-dimensional artworks with profound philosophical meanings. The research problem addressed in this study is the lack of deep understanding and scholarly investigation into the meanings of decorative motifs on the wooden masks from Labuapi Village. Despite their uniqueness and high cultural value, there has been limited research uncovering the philosophical meanings behind these carved motifs and their connection to the life and customs of the local community. This study aims to explore and elucidate the meanings of these decorative motifs on wooden masks from Labuapi Village, West Lombok. It seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the cultural values embedded in these crafts and how these meanings resonate within the lives of the Labuapi community. The research employs a qualitative method with Charles Sander Peirce's semiotic approach, chosen for its capability to delve into the meanings behind the symbols found on the wooden mask motifs. The resulting data are descriptive and analyzed to uncover the philosophical meanings behind each decorative motif. The findings reveal that the decorative motifs on Labuapi wooden masks are drawn from the life and customs of the local community. For instance, the motif of the gecko on the cupak mask, which in prehistoric times was believed to possess "mana" or spiritual power that could bestow luck and safety upon humans, is highly revered and worshipped. The study suggests that further research should explore the philosophical meanings of other decorative motifs in Labuapi wooden mask craftsmanship. Moreover, efforts to preserve and develop these crafts should be enhanced to ensure that the cultural values they embody are passed down and appreciated by future generations.

Abstract

This article discusses the representation of Amrina Rosada’s childhood memories through painting using an illustrative decorative style. The rapid development of digital technology has changed children’s play patterns and social interactions from direct physical activities to screen-based activities. This condition encourages reflection on childhood values that are gradually diminishing. This study employs an art creation method with a qualitative exploratory–reflective approach, including personal memory exploration, social observation, painting technique experimentation, and visual design.The results consist of four acrylic paintings on canvas, namely Playing Five Stones, Bathing in the River, Collecting Frangipani Flowers, and Cycling with Friends. These works represent childhood experiences that emphasize togetherness, social interaction, freedom of play, and closeness to nature. Visually, the paintings apply simplified forms, narrative compositions, and warm pastel colors to create a nostalgic atmosphere.The findings indicate that the illustrative decorative style is effective in transforming personal memories into a communicative visual language. In this study, painting functions not only as an aesthetic expression but also as a reflective medium to reintroduce childhood values that remain relevant in contemporary social life.
