When I had a studio and store on Dewisita Street in Ubud and was teaching woodcarving to young boys.

"I don't just carve the shape I want to make. Each tree has its own grain and branches. When I look at a tree carefully, a shape naturally comes to me. I use that inspiration to carve with the original shape of the tree."

I remember him saying that.

He had become a very famous and popular painter, but he was very careful to make sure that the young boys had the right skills and could make a living.
