    Story Behind the Art

    'I started to learn to sculpt at the age of eight when I was still in primary school, learning from my father how to carve traditional statues from wood. At first, I sold my statues to the sellers in the art market and at small shops. After I finished school, I studied with Wayan Purna so as to have a stronger foundation to build upon, because even at a young age I knew that what I wanted was to be able to create the ideas I had in my head. But to do this I needed more experience, and the tools and material I needed were beyond my financial reach. As time went by, I was able to bring out my ideas by selecting different types of wood and concentrating on the themes that could satisfy my creative desires.'

Beautiful Sculpture

natickgrl from Natick, MA, Jan 2, 2010

This is a beautiful piece of art. I bought it as a baby shower gift, and all the guests thought it was unique, beautifully crafted, and the perfect keepsake for a new mother. The patina of the wood is lovely, and I plan to buy another one.
