About this Artist

"I was born in 1940 in Dehradun, India. We are three in the family - my wife, my son and myself. I started this work with no background in terms of my family or training in this field. I have learned from my own experiences. I always wanted my profession to be related to the field of art.

"I started with ivory products, and later switched to sandalwood. The art of making sandalwood boxes is extremely intricate and detail oriented, therefore it requires skilled workmanship. I am the guiding factor for my craftsmen, who create these exquisite boxes and other works based on my unique designs.

"My craftsmen and I are deeply involved with the making of sandalwood products, especially sandalwood boxes. We also use kadamwood on occasion. The making of these boxes requires a lot of devotion, patience and concentration as intricate handwork is done. Sandalwood has a unique natural fragrance, and is available only in a few parts of southern India. It is quite expensive and one has to be extremely careful while cutting the raw wood, to avoid any wastage. The intricate carving on these products is done with an iron needle. The products are polished twice in the production process. The polishing technique used is referred to as buffing, which gives the products an extremely elegant finish.

"We are proud to be associated with Novica which has given us a platform to display our products through its website."

Garg also works in marble.

I just received 'Krishna the Cowherd' and felt compelled to say a few words. This is truly a work of exquisite beauty, far surpassing my expectations. It is nothing less than a jewel that is now the centerpiece of my collection. The superiority of workmanship coupled with the beautiful color and grain of the kadam wood creates an effect that is altogether mesmerizing. I thank Mr. Garg for sharing his talent and obvious love for his craft with us.

Dear Suresh, I just received 'Camels on Parade' and am very impressed with the quality and beauty of this piece. I also did not realize there were camels carved inside the others...how amazing that is! Thank you so much for the time and effort, you truly are an artist. Sincerely,

Beautiful! I purchased the statuette "love story" and I couldn't be more pleased. The skill of Suresh Garg is apparent when inspecting the many fine details. Outstanding craftsmanship. The photos on the site didn't do it justice. I was definitely much more beautiful in person. I would not hesitate to buy another piece by this exceptional artist!

I received the Lakshmi Goddess Hindu Wood Sculpture Statue by Suresh Garg today. The presentation was so lovely and gave the recipient a chance to feel a more intimate relationship with the Artist - such a gift. Thank you for the beautiful rice paper and cloth ribbon wrapping and personal note from the artist. It was quite ingenious how carefully the item was packed for shipping and yet elegantly wrapped. I've seen hundreds of Lakshmi in my 44 years. While I collect Goddess and Dancer sculptures, I had never purchased a Lakshmi before. I was especially attracted to this one because she radiates this peace, love and compassion - like a Quan (Kwan) Yin. Everyone that has seen and touched her to date notes on how lovely her energy is. They feel like they get this sense of the Artist and his energy is so beautiful! There is a feeling of gentleness and kindness. Lakshmi, along other attributes being the Goddess of Prosperity, I love the feelings of compassion and love combined with prosperity. In the spirit of Art, creativity and spiritual intention, I hope these works of art through their deep impact on people, help heal the world's "money issues" by infusing it with love and spirit. Right now I'm putting together a nonprofit center, but at a later date I would be interested in seeing her done in Marble or Jade. The Artist mentions in his statement that he sometimes works with Marble. Having grown up in the tropics (Hawaii), I love the Wood Sculptures. My interest in Jade and Marble stems from my recent acquisition of some Jade Sculptures of Sacred Dancers that date over 5000 years old. I would love to see some of the wood sculptures done in materials that last throughout the ages. Thank you all for your work! It's such a blessing.

Dear Mr Suresh Garg, Several months ago I purchased your Bhudda w/Swan piece. I was having major surgery and had to stay alone in a hotel for several weeks afterwards. I had the Buddha shipped to my hotel room. It arrived beautifully packaged, a wonderful gift. It was so uplifting to have him with me at that time. And he continues to have a special place in my home. I was so thrilled to find him on the Novica website...I had been searching for a long time for just the right Buddha. I couldn't believe it when I found a Buddha with an animal ! How perfect and wonderful. Such a different iconography but so appropriate for the Buddha and his teachings. I love the story of the Buddha and the swan. Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful work.

I received my first sculpture today from Mr. Suresh Garg. I have never been so delighted with anything I've bought before. My "Gracious Lord Ganesh" wood sculpture is so very beautiful, and so intricately carved. I caught my breath when I saw it, and couldn't stop staring at it thinking how precious it was. I will order from Novica and most particularly this gifted artist again. It was beautifully wrapped too. I just can't say enough about my purchase and it's creator. Thanks!
