Obviously you didn't visit many of the art galleries in and around Ubud and price some of the local art,,.. not All are cheap many of the local artists are recognised internationally and have exhibition around the world,.....
Many of the local artist are very wealthy,.... multi millionaire local artist are more common than you think,.. I can name a few....... Wayan Wianta, Nyoman Gunarsa are just a couple thats paintings can bring thousands of $$$...
Many art galleries also supply art materials to locals on the condition all works go to the gallery...
And also we've the many foreign artist that live for a time in Bali and visit,... the many art shops do very well
