The Dolfi Bark Angel is a masterpiece of abstract sculpture that captures the essence of alpine nature. This stylized figure, just 5 cm tall, stands out for its minimalist design and powerful materiality, exalting the beauty of imperfection and raw wood with bark.
The body and head are made through a skillful assembly of natural bark fragments, offering a rough and irregular texture with earthy tones ranging from light brown to gray-brown. This treatment gives the angel a primitive and deeply rooted appearance.
Visual contrast is the heart of this work: the primitive roughness of the bark is contrasted with the smooth purity of the wings, treated with a matte white finish that enhances their spiritual lightness. The figure rests on a compact oval base, in a pose of calm contemplation. Each angel is a unique creation, exalting the charm of untreated material.
Although this sculpture is an assembly work, the structural and smooth parts (such as the wings and the small hint of a neck) reflect the mastery of craftsmanship on Maple Wood, the preferred material for our small creations. The combination guarantees precision and durability while maintaining the deliberately "unfinished" and natural appearance, typical of Val Gardena craftsmanship.
