“Wayan Rendah's work is amazing!”

I love how this artist takes something as basic as a piece of wood and turns it into a work of art. The geometry of this piece is simply divine. I'm regularly caught up in the motion of this sculpture.

“Passionate and beautiful”

I bought this as a gift for a newly married couple. It is light (because of the weight of sugar wood) and beautifully carved. It is passionate portrait of a couple in love. Highly recommended.
