Smoothly chiseled features lend noble serenity to this image of Cili, one of Bali?s most revered deities. She is the goddess of fertility, her name in ancient Balinese, Ibu Pertiwi, referring to Mother Earth. Specifically she is associated with the rice harvest, as this grain represents sustenance for the Balinese people. Offerings are made in her honor to ensure a bountiful harvest. Using albesia wood Ketut Widana carves this harmonious vision, replete with aesthetic and spiritual meaning. Acrylic paints achieve the natural blend of tones. |
