Story Behind the art:

"I was born in Bali, the third child of five children. My parents were farmers. When I was a boy, times were tough because my parents income had to stretch for all of us. We could eat rice only on special occasions, such as religious holidays. We couldn't eat rice any other days, and we ate whatever we had just to survive. "After graduating from junior high school, I couldn't continue my studies due to financial problems. My parents could not support my studies any more, so I needed to find a job. Since I lived in in a town where most people work as silversmiths, I was interested in learning the art. From the time was 11 or 12, I'd help my brother, who also worked in silver. "Like most people, I also have hobbies aside from working with silver. I like fishing, sometimes I play volleyball and, when I was a boy, I also used to help my parents in the rice field. As an ordinary person lives in a small town, I never thought that I would marry a foreigner. But I did - I married a Japanese girl. The first time we met was when she learned how to work with silver in my place. Today, we have a daughter. parent is amazing for me. It has changed me a lot. "My parents used to tell me to help my brother in his silver work, even when I was still in junior high school. By the time I graduated from junior high school, I had gotten used to it. I also remember what my silver teacher told me: 'You have to practice working with silver frequently, because no matter how dull a knife is, it will be sharp if it is sharpened every day.' Through frequent practice, I obtained my skills.
