Meet The Artist Behind The Masterpiece
Nengah Sudarsana
Working with you has created a much better life for me and my family. Before, I could hardly afford to live in a single-room home. Now I live in a house with three rooms, and have my own car. Most importantly, I now support many other artisans who work with me. My family and I live a much better life, and five other families now benefit directly from my sales. I’m also able to help my relatives, especially the younger children, who now have shoes, clothes, and an education that they couldn’t have before. Since joining you in 2004, I have also grown in my realization of how we as Balinese fit into the whole world picture. Before, I was like a lot of fellow Balinese people in that my thinking was centered on Bali only, as if Bali was the world!

About our Artist: ‘From an early age I loved natural things: plants, animals, birds or sea life. When I was still quite young I knew I had an ability to translate nature into artful things of beauty. Although I have no formal art training and work purely from my own inspiration and intuition, I know what looks good and what doesn’t look right in a carving. I particularly want to create wildlife and other animal themes in an exact, realistic and original way.’
