Today, Asmana oversees a workshop of fifteen artisans, fostering an atmosphere of harmony and dedication. His work, rooted in heritage yet crafted with contemporary appeal, sustains not only his family but also his community. Each piece reflects his commitment to preserving Balinese silversmithing, allowing wearers to share in the legacy of a culture where artistry is a way of life.
