wood carving art

A sculptured voice behind a room measuring 10x3 square meters, Yatiman (58) artist 3-dimensional relief sculpture is seen carving a stick in Tangerang area, Banten.

The man from Mulyoharjo village, Jepara City, Central Java has more than 15 years working in one of the carving workshop in Pagedangan area, Tangerang regency, Banten, to create beautiful artwork.

According to him at that time after graduating from Junior High School, Yatiman did not have enough money to attend the carving school, but his persistent intention to become a wood carving artist burned his spirit to learn carving art independently by direct practice of making sculpture locally.

'' At the beginning I learned to carve if not wrong at the age of 19 years, I tried some basic carvings on tables, benches and others that are not too detailed or only 2 dimensions '' said Yatiman when interviewed Kompas.com on Wednesday (17 / 01/2018).
