Professor - Graphic Design, Illustration
Having traveled, lived and visited a number of countries around the globe, I have had the fortune of meeting such amazing people from all walks of life - from ambassadors to peasants. While their lives have taken various paths, there remains one solid discovery; that everyone is really the same. We might speak different languages, practice various customs and religions, but there are little differences between us.
I am now at a place where I cannot afford to travel as I once did. However, memories of such great people sustain me every day. It is my hope that we will all realise the beauty and fortune we have in one another, and enjoy life to the fullest, no matter where we find ourselves.
What I like most about Novica:
Interesting art and a wide variety of creative expression is to be treasured. This is what Novica offers to those who dare to be different. The quality and service they offer, plus the main benefit of being able to support fellow artists and artisans from around the world is an amazing opportunity. To see and know a little about your artist makes the transition so much more valid and rich than simply ordering out of a catalogue. You can see who is going to benefit. However, the benefit works both ways; both for the buyer and the artist. He or she will benefit from the money, sure, but you will benefit from having a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Testimonial for Putu Oka Mahendra
After New Years I decided to treat myself to a little gift and was I excited when I received the "Duck Family" tea set. The photographs do it no justice. The work is amazing and I was tempted to put it on a shelf and not use it as it was so nice. However, on a few occasions when really special guests come over and I want to impress them, I serve tea in it. The comments have always been very positive and everybody wants to know where I purchased it and how they could buy one. I am extremely pleased and thank the artist for giving me a little extra joy when I have my afternoon tea. Great job! It isn't just for looks but makes a wonderful tea pot and set.
Testimonial for Nyoman Naranata
I was extremely pleased with the mask entitled Angel Woman. I have 53 masks in my collection and the one by I Nyoman Naranata is one of my favourites. The work is exceptional and brings a sense of peace into my living area. Thank you for your wonderful gift. Many visitors often comment on it's beauty. Keep up the good work Novica.
Testimonial for Pedro and Maria
i received the sun plaque as a present for an anniversary gift and immediately ordered an accompanying moon to go with it. They are absolutely stunning. The colours are just as bright as was shown on my computer screen. However, the details are only appreciated fully in real life when you are holding them. The work is exquisite and it now hangs in my kitchen above the door mantle for visitors to see whenever they leave my home. It brightens my day in the morning and just before I dim the lights at night. Thank you for such careful attention to detail and beautiful work.
