This angel sculpture transcends tradition to embrace a modern and powerfully evocative aesthetic. The stylized "Corteccia" angel is a masterpiece of material and chromatic contrasts, a testament to the innovative craftsmanship of Val Gardena.
Crafted to the perfect size of 6 cm, this angel is masterfully carved from precious maple wood, the material of choice for our smaller creations. Its elongated and abstract silhouette is defined by a unique texture that enhances its rustic and timeless charm.
Observe the central body, treated with a finish that faithfully recreates the tactile and visual appearance of aged bark, with white-grey and dark brown streaks that impart depth and history. Contrasting with this earthy roughness, the wings exude an almost metallic energy: an intense, textured rusty brown that evokes the oxidation of iron and time. Small golden or copper accents radiate a discreet light, strategically placed to complete this fascinating dialogue between natural element and raw finish. A sacred object that is also an authentic work of modern art.
