Story Behind the Art:
My friends describe me as a simple guy who is a hard worker and loves his family.?I became interested in carving when a friend introduced me to some artisans who worked in carving. I saw the way they worked and it was so amazing that I started to learn. It was my friend Abdul Rasit who taught me, and two other carvers - Pak Dewa and Bli Kadek - were always there to answer my questions.?My materials are plentiful and inexpensive, when compared to silver or gold. I work in bone and wood. My culture inspires me, and the natural world around me - flowers, leaves and animals. To improve my technique, I turn to books, the Internet and visiting other bone carvers.?When I am challenged by a difficult design, I work until I can do it nicely. When someone likes it, the result is a very happy moment.?In 2010 when my wife was pregnant with our second son, I didn't have enough money to pay the rent. We had no choice. We had to move to my father-in-law's house, where we stayed for five months.?In the future, I hope can buy a new house for my family. I dream of giving my children the best possible education and helping my family, especially our parents.
