Wood statuette, 'Women for Peace'

Working in suar wood, he portrays four women lifting their hands in a gesture of triumph as well as a sign of peace. Their legs intertwine, symbolizing the rules necessary to achieve peace.

Ketut Marsa

"Ketut Marsa is a name given by my parents when I was born in 1948. I was born and grew up in Bali, known throughout the world as the world of art. Since I was a child I was introduced to many kinds of art works by my father. He is a senior wood carver in his own age. He told me to watch him carving wood step by step. One time he told me to make a woodcarving from a piece of wood he fetched on his way home from the rice field. I mustn't imitate other people's work; he had me create my own idea into a piece of wood. He also said to me that being a wood carver is not bad because not all people are given this kind of blessing by God. Since then I practiced carving wood every day.

"Imagining and observing objects are my source of inspiration. I want to create a thing that can give deep impressions to those who see it. I have been in exhibition at Puputan Badung, Bali in 1957, besides in 1960 I demonstrated my skill in front of many people in making a statuette with the height of one meter. I hope through Novica people from other countries will love and order my works."
