Wood statuette, 'Having Lunch'

Inspired by scenes of every day life, Wayan Dirga carves the image of a man enjoying his lunch. Holding food in a banana leaf with his left hand, he raises his bamboo pot waiting to be served water. Singularly detailed, the man's expression is vivid and captivating.

Wayan Dirga

"My name is Wayan Dirga and I was born in 1969. Most of my family members are carvers, for it is a family legacy that has endured several generations. You could say I was born with a talent to carve, which I developed by merely observing my parents and relatives at work every day. My inspiration comes from Balinese customs and traditions.

"Competition is hard here in Bali, for there are many good and expert carvers. This makes the life of the carver a very uncertain one because it makes it difficult to sell our work.

"I'm grateful for what Novica is doing to promote artisans' works to the whole world. Hopefully, my art works will be accepted, and I will appreciate any criticism that would improve my work."
