Made Suadi

"My name is Made Suadi and was born in Bali on December 31, 1952. My hobby is creating new designs of clothing. I have been learning how to make clothes since 1975; even though I am a man and at that time most of the designers were women, that didn't stop me from learning and observing the fashion. That is why, then, I took the course of making clothes.

"My works are inspired by Balinese art and culture. Many tourists come to Bali to see and get to know more about Balinese art and culture. When they go back to their countries, of course they will bring something as presents to their families and friends. Then I create some clothes, which can be a present as well as a useful gift.

"In making clothes I use batik cotton textiles. I have researched these media to learn whether they contain toxins or not. The result is they are non-toxic. It is best to wash the clothes by hand (cool water) or machine wash (40°c) and avoid drying in direct sunshine.

"Novica is one way for young and small artists to promote their art works into the whole world. The important thing is that through Novica we can promote Indonesian art and culture, especially Balinese."
