About this item: "Happiness and sadness are like twins who are very close. Once you are happy, you know that whatever made you happy is something that will also make you sad. So we just have to remember that all feelings are finally the same," says Wayan Rendah. To express the concept, he sculpts an exquisite mask from Balinese suar wood. One side is joyous while the other is sad. - Signed by the artist - Each artwork is unique -- wood grain, color, and pattern will differ slightly from picture About our Artist: Wayan Rendah's father began teaching him to sculpt when he was a boy. 'Balinese woodcarving touches me very deeply. I have learned a variety of arts in Bali, such as gamelan dance, but carving a piece of wood gives me an incomparable sensation,' he says. 'After I finished school, I studied further because I needed more experience, and the tools and material I needed were beyond my financial reach. Exploring the abstract world refreshes my mind in creating new carvings.'
