This adorable stylized owl captures attention thanks to the bold use of natural materials that enhance its rustic and authentic soul. The sculpture, presented in a frontal and vertical view, exhibits an essential and modern form.
The distinctive element is the texture: the main body is formed by natural bark, worked to preserve its extremely rough, irregular, and deeply grooved surface. This material choice gives the owl an organic and earthy appearance, simulating a dense and primordial plumage.
The material contrast is masterful: the eyes and lateral edges are made of smooth, light-colored wood. The eyes, two circular and convex elements, feature carved concentric rings that give the owl a fixed, watchful, and friendly expression. The finish is opaque or slightly satin, typical of untreated natural wood, which enhances its fine grain.
Crafted according to the artisanal tradition of Val Gardena, this piece combines simplicity of form with richness of material. To ensure the highest quality and definition of exposed details, such as the eyes, the sculpture is carved from pine wood, the preferred choice of Dolfi master sculptors for works of this size (16 cm). A unique sculpture, perfect for those who love craftsmanship that celebrates the beauty of nature.
