The history of batik is one of the archipelago’s craft products whose existence was born along with the history of human civilization. In its growth, batik in Java was closely associated with the nobility, royal/sultanate relatives, close to priyayi life and a symbol of feudalism. Motifs in batik are often associated with sacred symbols, have religious meanings as well as reflections of spirituality for people who believe in them. Spirituality is associated with religious activities and is seen as a reflection or form of religious appreciation, the depth of belief expressed generally in the form of worship. In the study of fine art, the reflection of spirituality is found in Betawi batik motifs. The reflection is also expressed in various visual elements, meanings and symbols and is lived as part of the reflection in the lives of the majority of Betawi ethnicity. The research method uses the theory of visual language, with a qualitative descriptive method, where the visuals found will be described descriptively, the meaning contained therein and the cultural background inherent in the visuals.
