THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Nyoman Sudiana
Country: Indonesia
"Hi, I am a woodcarver from Bali. My name is Nyoman Sudiana and I was born in August 1969. My family is a group of carvers who have worked in wood for many generations, so I studied carving with my father and my brother, Madra, from the time I was in elementary school.
"Buddha, traditional and abstract figures are my source of inspiration. Suar, hibiscus, ebony and crocodile wood with natural finishes are my common materials. In order to make or create a new design, it takes me about one and a half months to refine my work little by little until I get the perfect design.""
