This sculpture captures the essence of spirituality with a minimalist and deeply tactile design. The Stylized Angel is an ode to contrast and purity, merged in the ancient art of Val Gardena carving.
The smooth and slender body is masterfully crafted from precious maple wood, carefully chosen as its size is less than 56 cm. The fine grain and light tone of the maple wood enhance the simplicity of the form. The natural finish, soft to the touch, gives the figure an ethereal and luminous appearance, echoing the immaculate smoothness of the Dolomite peaks.
Breaking the harmony of smoothness are the wings, made from authentic tree bark. This bold choice offers a sharp chromatic and tactile contrast: the dark grain and the rough, raw texture of the bark symbolize primordial and earthly nature, dialoguing with the light and perfection of the wooden body. An art creation that combines sculptural tradition with a modern and symbolic interpretation, perfect for adding a contemporary touch of sacredness to any environment.
