Story Behind the art:
I was born in Sukawati， Gianyar in 1970. It seemed natural to work with you， as my brother， Made Wirata， is a wood carver and my wife， Made Mulyani， crafts masks， and both of them are featured artisans. In the town where I grew up， most people are wood carvers， and so was my family.People know me as a humorist， a simple and fully responsibility man. From the time I was in fourth grade， I worked and paid my own tuition. I learned wood sculpture by watching my parents. In those days， children began learning the art at a young age and I was not alone. I had many kinship friends that time.By the time I was in senior high school， I was always very late in paying my tuition and my parents couldn't help me because they didn't have the economic means to do so. At the same time， I wasn't getting any orders for my wood carvings. I was so ashamed of my impoverished condition. But going through all of this strengthened my spirit and determination about my own future. I knew I wanted to have a happy family and raise my children in better conditions than I had.Finally， I graduated from high school and married the woman who is now my wife. We have two children ― a boy and a girl ― who are currently in high school. 'My children should have a better life then mine before.' Whispering this sentence always builds my spirit.Today， I continue working with wood， but I'm focusing on making vases and classic boxes. I enjoy using the lathe， then carving the objects with manual tools such as chisels， hand-saws and mallets. I give unique finishes to my designs to distinguish them from the others. I believe mahogany is perfect for these designs ― it's easy to find and good for the lathe and for carving.I'm very excited about showing my designs worldwide， and I hope my dreams and goals for my children will come true.
