horse art

As if transforming from plant to animal, a horse head emerges from a natural root of benalu wood. The horse's head is carved in beautiful detail by Bali's Yudi Suardi.

As natural wood roots are used, please expect each sculpture to be a unique work of art.

Balinese traditional carvings are praised throughout the world for their beauty and the quality of the woodwork. Indonesian artisan Ketut Rediana hand-carves local suar wood to create striking animal-themed art like this towering racing horse sculpture featuring onyx gemstones for the eyes.

The noble spirit of the companion of heroes descends on a masterfully crafted accessory from the always-prosperous Balinese lands.

Polished for a magnificent look, the ring has a horse accent at the front, a known symbol of strength and confidence.

Working in suar wood, Sarwaedi creates a realistic wall sculpture in low relief. A sea horse swims in the warm Balinese sea, inspiring this original work of woodcarving art.

The rectangular panel prominently displays a detailed relief of Pegasus, the winged horse from Greek mythology, walking proudly on a cloud. This piece of art is ready to be hung on a wall in your home, with iron hooks on the back.

Bali's Ketut Rediana masterfully carves this pair of horse heads from native suar wood, using polished onyx for the eyes. The sculptures exhibit breathtaking realism, right down to the musculature, manes, and facial expressions.

Balinese artist Made Pasek Kusuma Wijay chooses to express his plea for world peace in a painting depicting a woman's prayer. "The state of the world is not fine, given the many wars, conflicts between countries and very heartbreaking human tragedies," says the artist. "Let us pray sincerely that the world situation will return to peace as we strive to live a more simple, carefree life with mutual respect and tolerance between our existing differences. Despite the conditions of the world, we always yearn for peace itself.

"Galloping across a surreal mountain landscape, a team of horses carries forward the hope of an entire society from the lofty reality of the highlands to the life of the commoner below. Riding on the back of a bird resembling the Hindu god of strength, Garuda, a faceless woman prays to the divine spirits, having passed through a period of blood and turbulence. Garuda also prays with his human-like hands as if to encourage himself to continue his mission of vigilance.

"Reflected in the grass of the mountains, the woman's prayers mirror above and below the path of the raptor, symbolizing the transverse support from across the country for her mission. A handshake arises from the woman's mind in a floral accord between two immortal parties.

"In a world plagued by conflict and the horrors of violence, the woman's prayer, the subtle handshake and the impressive flight of the god of strength prescribe peace for all of humanity. Realism cannot deliver this humane desire to reality.

"Scaled to surreal proportions, the woman's prayers make multiple appearances in increasing size, while the mighty bird soars above an entire team of horses, with various hands apparent."
