Meet The Artist Behind The Masterpiece

Nyoman Ariawan

I’m from a village in Klungkung, Bali and, when I was still a child, my life was extremely hard. There was no electricity, no gas, no water, and no television. We used firewood for cooking and for lighting we used traditional lamp in the night. Luckily we had the old radio to keep up with the news. My mother and my sisters walked about three kilometers to fetch a gallon of water while my father and I would go looking for firewood two times a week. Once, when he was at work, I made small wooden beads with a small knife that I brought and I strung them into a bracelet. My father was very proud when he saw my bracelet. It wasn’t perfect but the jewelry idea was there. My parents changed my life by sending me to a high school, even though they never received formal education as they were pressed by harsh living conditions.
