The Asmat people live in the large forests and wetlands of southern West Papua, struggling to maintain their natural habitat, their culture and their carvings, so intrinsically related to their spiritual heritage.

We fell under the spell of a fascination for their works of art, ranging from everyday tools to the exquisite creations of ancestor worship and we are happy to share with you our excitement and wonder.

Asmat-art is a journey to discover an art rich of symbolism that endured through the ages for more than three thousand years.
