Details:
Sitting in the asana position， a whimsical frog practices yoga holding its front feet to its middle chakra. It closes its eyes as it inhales and exhales， in a vivid wood statuette， hand carved by Nengah Sudarsana.

Story Behind the Art:
From an early age I loved natural things - plants， animals， birds or sea life. I have a special appreciation for the often neglected dogs that populate all Balinese villages， and when I see the way Western people treat their animals I hope someday that Indonesians will appreciate their animals as much. When I was still quite young I knew I had an ability to translate nature into artful things of beauty. Because my life has always centered on animals and other natural themes， I use these as my subjects， usually interpreted in tropical woods. Now I have the opportunity to create art subjects incorporating not only Indonesian wildlife but also others from all corners of the earth. Although I have no formal art training and work purely from my own inspiration and intuition， I know what looks good and what doesn't look right in a carving. I particularly want to create wildlife and other animal themes in an exact， realistic and original way. Each piece is carefully created with this realism in mind. I will not allow anything out of my hands that I would not want to own and display in my own house. It's my highest desire that every piece goes to a home and will give great joy for as long as the owner has it. 2008 update from Nengah Sudarsana: Novica has created a much better life for me and my family.Most importantly， I now support many other artisans who work with me. My family and I live a much better life， and five other families now benefit directly from my Novica sales. I am also able to help my relatives， especially the younger children， who now have shoes， clothes， and an education that they couldn't have before. Since joining Novica， I have also grown in my realization of how we as Balinese fit into the whole world picture. Before， I was like a lot of fellow Balinese in that my thinking was centered on Bali only， as if Bali was the world. Now I realize more how we are just a piece of the puzzle.
