Southeast Asian history is an alternating journey of foreign influences that entered the region. In the beginning, culture gained input from Indian, Arabic, Chinese and European-American cultures. The journey of these influences is identical to the development of various order of life values, such as religion, social, political, economic, cultural, artistic, technological and scientific. The spiritual dimension (transcendentality) in the religious life of its people is increasingly "enriched" by the secular dimension (society). This development makes art in Southeast Asia gain enrichment in terms of new rules, elements, or values. Artworks that were originally religious were increasingly getting secular additions. The themes of divinity shifted to themes about humanity and society. So far, the existence of books that specifically discuss art research in the Southeast Asian region still does not yet exist, so it needs to be further investigated in order to be able to complete a part of history that has not been previously stated in detail. In addition, data collection on Southeast Asia is needed to better understand the ties and relations of countries in the ASEAN region in order to be able to know the journey and the influence that exists and feels up to now.
