He later became a dancer in the Balinese dance opera group during high school. He finished high school in Denpasar in 1968 and attended Teacher College in Madiun city, East Java. He returned to Bali in 1970 as an apprentice math teacher in a Junior High School. He was married in 1973, and has two sons and two daughters.
Art conservation work
In 1974, Rudana developed The Rudana Painter Community at the Sanur beach area to help local artists in selling their products[citation needed]. In 1978, he established the Rudana Fine Art Gallery in Ubud aiming to promote Balinese arts to visitors on the island[citation needed]. It was also intended to encourage local artists to develop their individual styles and grow the local art industry. For his work promoting Indonesian arts, The Artists Association of Indonesia presented him with the Lempad Prize in 1985.[citation needed]
Concerned that Balinese and Indonesian artistic heritage was being taken overseas, Rudana established Museum Rudana in Peliatan, Gianyar Regency. Its cornerstone was laid on 22 December 1990 with a serial of Balinese ceremony. The museum officially opened in 1995 with the goal of preserving Indonesian arts. On December 14, 1994, Rudana received the Upakarti Award from President Suharto in appreciation for his action in preserving Indonesian arts and his contribution to the development of small-scale industries in Bali.[citation needed]
In 1995, Rudana also founded The Rudana Art Foundation to help develop and promote art in Indonesia by sponsoring gifted children in studying art, performance and music[citation needed]. He has also developed other galleries[which?] to display Balinese arts, and established the Ksatria Seni Award in 2000, which is presented every four years to individuals or organizations for their dedication to working in arts and culture.[citation needed]
In November, 2000, Rudana received L’albero dell’umanita Award (The Tree of Humanity Award) from the Government of Italy as an appreciation for his promoting arts and brotherhood to the world.[1]
