Testimonial for Wayan Rendah
The arrival of Wayan Rendah's "Owl Couple" took my breath away! His feeling for his natural subjects, his attention to detail and his artistic craftsmanship combine to make him one of my favorite carvers. I am simply awed by the perfection of these owls, and I will certainly save my dollars until I can add to my collection of his work. This one, incidentally, is my twelfth carving by the estimable Wayan Rendah!
Testimonial for Made Marya
Breathtakingly beautiful, this carving called "Shy Nude" by Made Marya that arrived today! I expected it to be nice, but it far surpasses my highest expectations. Marya shows a subtle, precise feel for the balance and rhythm of the female form, as well as his devotion to perfect execution. I'll watch all his work in the future. Many thanks to him and to NOVICA!
Testimonial for Ketut Murdantha
Ketut Murdantha's suar wood sculpture, "Playful Mermaid," is one of the most perfectly conceived, carved and finished pieces I've ever received. It is the second piece I've ordered of his, having already bought his dragon. It is so breathtakingly beautiful that I'll certainly be watching for further creations by him. Thanks so much.
Testimonial for Wayan Cakra
I just received a suar wood carving by Wayan Cakra, and I am stunned by its beauty and richness of detail. The small statuette, about 8 inches tall, is called "Sunbathing," a figure of a cameleon. The skill and pride of artistry is outstanding. Cakra has managed to capture the movement within the grain of the wood, as well as a personality within the face and body language of the creature. I sincerely hope he will have the time and vision to continue his carving, because he could have an outstanding future. I, for one, will watch for anything new from him. Also, I was extremely impressed by the care with which the sculpture was packaged for shipment. Thanks to Cakra and to all of you at NOVICA!
Testimonial for Sukaenah
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.
Testimonial for Pande Made Anom
I just received the astonishingly beautiful carving, "Rooster At Dawn," by Pande Made Anom, and I was awed by its exacting detail, striking finish and lifelike sense of body movement. It seems on the brink of its first exultant crow of the day! It seems obvious to me that the artist has both remarkable talent and great pride in his craft, and this is one of my favorites among the several dozen carvings in my Bali collection. Thanks so much, and I eagerly await more creations of his in the future.
