I was born into an artistic family. My father is a sculptor and my mother is a housewife. I chose to pursue sculpture because my parents directed and taught me. Besides that, it's also because of the environment where I work, which is mostly engaged in the arts. The works that I create are generally related to the arts and culture of Bali. So by creating works of art with the theme of my culture, I indirectly preserve Balinese culture. I am involved in everything, both in the design process and in the production of my artwork. I produce my work, assisted by two men who are part of the family and 8 male workers. In general, I divide their work based on the abilities they have. All the work processes go well because all the tools and materials are easily available. I hope NOVICA can help me market my products to the international arena....
