"Working with bronze in a historical context has challenged me to learn more about history and culture, which I greatly enjoy."
Sukaenah was born on July 4, 1978. As a child, she loved to climb a big tree in her garden. From there she could jump onto the roof of her family's house. Her favorite rooftop spot was nicely shaded, and it soon became her personal hideout where she would go to read or study.
During her high school years, Sukaenah was very active in different school organizations as well as sporting events - she was a long-distance runner. She also joined the Paskibra, a group responsible for hanging the national flag on Indonesia's Day of Independence.
Unable to fulfill her lifelong ambition of studying at a government university, Sukaenah decided to enroll in a four-year course at a local tourism school. She majored in hotel management, and during her second year of studies she was selected to become a trainee in Singapore.
Sukaenah graduated in 2000 and took a job at an important hotel. "Here I first came into contact with traditional bronze artwork," she says. "I fell in love with it. In my eyes, these sculptures looked different, antique, and charismatic." Sukaenah searched for information on bronze sculpting, which made her appreciate this art form even more.
Encouraged by her brother-in-law, Sukaenah decided to work with bronze. Together, they began to create a variety of art works, but their favorites are characters with strong historical and religious backgrounds, such as Shiva, Krishna, and Buddha.
"Working with bronze in a historical context has challenged me to learn more about history and culture, which I greatly enjoy," the artist confides.

When I received my 2 pieces of sculpture, The Cyclist and Sensuality, they took my breath away. These two beautiful sculptures by Sukaenah will be truly valued for a long, long time. This is what art is supposed to feel like. Marvelous. Many thanks to Sukaenah. I am a true fan.

Sukaenah's Bronze Buddha casting turned up on an eBay search I did. After looking at all the "authentic reproductions" by non-fair trade artisans, we purchased Sukaenah's piece directly from Novica's website. A really nice original piece with good detail and craftsmanship. It was a good value as well compared to the sea of "fake" sculptures. Thank you for supporting these artists and making their work available to the world.

Excellent work on the 3 bronzed/silver Geckos. All 3 pieces look gorgeous, and are a wonderful reminder of our families recent trip to Mexico.
Thank You, Sukaenah

I just received the "Moon Goddess" bronze sculpture, and it is so much more beautiful that the photo on the website! She is lovely from every angle, and a very impressive size. Thank you Sukaenah, for making this goddess for me, and thanks to Novica as well! I'll return to purchase more beautiful things!

I just received my bronze Buddha...I am thrilled! It is exactly as described, perhaps even better! It even came gift-wrapped--the personal touch is wonderful. Thank you, and my warmest regards to you.

I just received my first bronze piece by Sukaenah, a graceful figure titled "Daydream," and I was instantly struck by its freshness and lithe sinuousness. Not so many artists are working in bronze now, and I hope to encourage this young lady to continue her pursuit of excellence through this wonderful medium. I'll certainly be watching to see what her mind and fingers produce next. Thank you, Novica, and thank you, Sukaenah.
