Desak Nyoman Parwati

"My name is Desak Nyoman Parwati and I was born in Gianyar, Bali on October 3 1972. I learned how to make batik from Desak Putu Nithi starting in 1989. When I worked with her, she taught me many things about textiles and hand-painting batik. The thing I like about her is her dedication to her work and her concern for the people working with her. On March 5, 2000, I opened my own art shop. From hand-painting batik textiles, I create various kind of dresses. I get the inspiration from the model magazines. I took some designs I like from magazines and adapted them to the Indonesian culture. In making dresses, I use rayon cloth, cotton cloth, linen cloth, and crinkle cloth. For the coloring I use sulfur and remasol color.

"I build my career step by step. I asked my neighbors to come to my place to look at my collection and they can order from me if they like it. Now I already have six people working with me. High thanks to what Novica is doing in promoting artists to the whole world, especially artists from Bali."
