Flowing lines define the rounded curves of the feminine body. A sphere forms the head while the body arcs in a circle, suggesting both the womb and the loving arms that receive her child. Wayan Kandiyasa creates a superb portrait of woman, eternally fertile, eternally loving. Artisan Info: "On behalf of myself and the other Sandstone Carvers of Blahbatuh, we thank you for your interest in our beloved culture!" "My name is Wayan Kandiyasa and I was born on October 5, 1964 on the island of Bali. I come from a family of artists - my father is also a stone carver, who was taught by my grandfather. "I make statues and relief work from a stone called paras. I like both traditional and modern styles. I first started to learn at the age of nine with my father, beginning with cleaning and finishing the statues he would make. At the age of thirteen I could already make small statues on my own. At that time, and even now, my inspiration comes to me when I am most relaxed and quiet. An image comes to me and I start to work as calmly as possible, trying to keep the original idea as simple as possible. "I like very much to work with the Novica team, because now I can help support my family and concentrate on my work with the confidence that it is being promoted outside of Indonesia by people Less
