artisan treasures

Love takes over an abstract couple that expresses their passion in Wayan Rendah's newest creation. As an expert in the field, the Balinese artisan uses suar wood to create this romantic sculpture made in honor of those who have found the treasure of love. The artwork comes in a black hue, polished for a lustrous look that enhances its elegant style.

Ghanaian artist Abdul Aziz Mohamadu has always had an affinity for art, often painting for friends and neighbors by request. It was with carving wood that his passions were truly piqued, and this joy shines through in this beautifully articulate figurine he names Ikenna, which is a Nigerian name. After carving the sculpture, beads of recycled glass and acrylic paint are used to add dimension and color.

Painted as an ode to the better angels of human nature, Reza Dwakiss's mixed media work aspires toward the great heights of total transcendence. The Javanese artisan uses a modern, semi-abstract style to create the painting, working with bright acrylic and bold permanent marker.

Dive into the depths with these mesmerizing teardrop dangle earrings that capture the essence of tropical waters in recycled form. Guatemalan artisan Rosario Leiva transforms discarded CDs into wearable ocean poetry through her signature technique: melting the fragments in sleek molds, then layering emerald and turquoise acrylic droplets with the precision of a painter before fusing everything together with a blow torch's kiss. The result is pure magic, where translucent greens and aqua blues swirl together like underwater currents, dotted with organic air bubbles that catch the light like sun rays filtering through reef waters. Suspended from sterling silver hooks, these eco-friendly earrings tell a story of transformation, where yesterday's technology becomes today's treasure.

Circular patterns and a marbled effect make Edward Lamptey's wall hanging a truly unique piece for your home decor. The Ghanaian artisan starts by sketching his idea in pencil and hot wax on 100% cotton, using a batik dyeing method to color the hanging in hues of yellow and green.
