This extraordinary 30 cm high Angel sculpture represents a perfect balance between the power of nature and the abstraction of the sacred. It is not just a devotional object, but a true piece of contemporary sacred art design, hand-carved by our master sculptors from Val Gardena.
The slender body of the Angel is crafted using the raw and irregular texture of a wooden trunk with its intact natural bark, with shades ranging from brown to earthy gray. This earthly roughness masterfully contrasts with the smooth and polished finish of the head and the edges of the wood, elements which, given the 30 cm dimension, are carved from precious maple wood, known for its fine grain and impeccable resistance.
The material contrast reaches its peak with the wings: made of metal with a striking rusted-colored burnished/oxidized finish, they evoke a sense of eternity and strength. The absence of details on the minimalist face shifts attention from individual expression to the pure essence of the angelic message: protection and contemplation.
