Fangs flaring and eyes bulging, Raksasa the giant holds his weapon in one hand threatening all who dare stand in his way. Wayan Kandiyasa carves his image from sandstone with meticulous care as he draws inspiration from traditional tales and legends. The sandstone's natural pigmentation serves well to confer an ephemeral appearance. Kandiyasa's talent is evidenced in the sublime detailing of the ferocious creature.
• About the Artist: "My name is Wayan Kandiyasa and I was born on October 5, 1964 on the island of Bali. I come from a family of artists - my father is also a stone carver, who was taught by my grandfather. I make statues and relief work from a stone called paras. I like both traditional and modern styles. I first started to learn at the age of nine with my father, beginning with cleaning and finishing the statues he would make. At the age of thirteen I could already make small statues on my own. At that time, and even now, my inspiration comes to me when I am most relaxed and quiet. An image comes to me and I start to work as calmly as possible, trying to keep the original idea as simple as possible."
