Story Behind the Art:
'My name is Nyoman Rupadana, but everyone calls by my last name. I was born in Bali in 1969. People know me as a shy, humble and honest man. Many people in my hometown work with silver. My parents were both farmers and I was the seventh of nine children. To help my parents with expenses, I began to work in my friend's dad's jewelry workshop when I was in fourth grade. They paid me a dime or two so I could buy lunch at school, and also gave me some clothes. After graduating from high school, I returned home, determined to work on my own. With 25 grams of silver, I began crafting jewelry to sell. My designs are based on current fashion trends and include Balinese motifs and engravings. My parents once told me that if you are good at something, you have to express it through hard work and not waste a gift from God.'
