Third artwork by members of the Subrata family
I purchased my first Subrata Barong mask 25 years ago, and it guards the door of the family house since that time. When I established my own consulting business and needed a "work apartment" I went to Novica to see if I could find another piece by the Subrata Paterfamilias, Nyoman Subrata, who carved our old Barong mask and also a beautiful mer-person sculpture that I have at work. I was sad to see that he had left us, but delighted to see that another family member carries on his legacy. Very happy with this new Barong, who watchfully guards the door to my work residence.
Beautiful Likeness of a Unique Duck
In 2018 a Mandarin duck appeared in Central Park, New York seemingly out of nowhere. That sparked my fascination with this duck. I was surprised and pleased to find this sculpture years later and was able to "capture" my own Mandarin duck. I love the sculpture and the incredible attention to detail and the realistic faithfulness to the duck. Okay, the real duck looks a little like a toy as well, but I am thrilled to have another sculpture by Nengah Sudarsana, and this one joins my small flock of ducks by him. Perhaps I'll take it to the lake in Central Park and see if another real one will show up to keep mine company.
