subtle decor

A shorebird with black and white feathers as well as a long beak, the black-necked stilt is a common sight along American coastlines. Balinese artisan Nengah Sudarsana creates this decorative accent, carved from albesia wood into the species's likeness and given a hand-painted finish in black and white. This accent is displayed atop an iron rod and a whitewashed base of suar wood.

Perfect for celebrating your love, Nyoman Sudiana's romantic statuette is a real treasure. The Balinese artisan crafts the sculpture from suar wood, hand carving two abstract figures and an openwork heart before polishing the surface for a subtle luster.

Employing local suar wood, Nyoman Karsa skillfully carves this image of Balinese monkeys. The pair strikes a loving pose, embraced in an expression of nature’s intimacy. Subtle details complement the wood’s alluring grain. Imbued with ecological sentiments, the work offers a unique touch to any interior.

Says Karsa, “Outside is the natural world; the lives of animals depend on human behavior. Numerous hunters travel around the world endangering the lives of animals, while only a few people concern themselves with finding the best way to save them from entirely disappearing. By creating animal statuettes I offer an alternative for animal lovers.”
