Story Behind the Art:

'I come from a family of farmers, but I didn't want to do this for the rest of my life so I studied hard in order to have more options. After graduating from university, I began to work so I could share my income with my family.

'After attending the university I began to work for a shipping company. They sent me to England and France, and even though it was a great learning experience I realized I wanted to work for myself. I decided to combine the experience I had gained with my passion for art and interior decoration.

'When I started, I encountered many obstacles, but I never gave up. I knew if I tried my best I would succeed. I love designing new lines and developing new products. The actual production of our items is made by a group of men who are very experienced carvers.'
