Motif
Shiva is one of the most worshipped gods of Hinduism. As the god of destruction, he forms the third member of the divine trinity alongside Brahma (the creator) and Vishnu (the sustainer). Shiva is synonymous with transformation, change, and regeneration. Both at the level of his individuality in terms of his life transformations, and at the level of the entire universe, Shiva ends the existence of all that is exhausted and aged, making way for the creation of the new. He embodies the eternal cycle of creation and dissolution, representing immortal existence.
The circle surrounding him symbolizes unity and infinity. Together, they serve not only as a decorative element but also as a powerful spiritual amulet.
Material
Suar wood comes from the Saman Samanea tree, also known as the Monkey Pod. The extraordinary elegance of this material lies in the beauty of its natural grain pattern and the texture of the wood. Each piece thus acquires original beautiful shades from very light to dark brown. Thanks to the exceptional character of suar, carvers can create enchanting works of art down to the smallest detail.
The Tradition of Balinese Woodcarving
Woodcarving is an ancient art form that reflects the distinctive style of talented Balinese artisans, and is a very popular souvenir from the "Island of the Gods".
The art of Bali was and still is deeply rooted in the local religion. Hindu and Buddhist traditions first reached Java and then Bali about a thousand years ago, providing an important cultural foundation for Balinese society. Balinese culture has drawn inspiration from a variety of sources, including Chinese and Malay traditions. The combination of these influences has given rise to the Hindu-Javanese arts and crafts we know today.
The spiritual traditions of Bali are closely linked to artistic expression, serving as a means of expressing devotion and fulfilling obligations to the deities.
