A masterpiece of essentiality and earthly power. This Guardian Angel stands out for its incredibly rustic and natural finish, celebrating the primal strength of wood. The sculpture, while maintaining an abstract and stylized winged form, evokes a profound sense of rootedness thanks to its rough and irregular surface, rich in cracks and knots that recall the true texture of tree bark.
The dominant shades of dark brown, reddish, and grayish create a chiaroscuro contrast that accentuates its dimensionality. The large wings rise in a static, upright pose, forming a 'V' shape pointing towards the sky, framing the oval and smooth head, the only polished part emerging from the raw texture. This size (12 cm), designed for maximum display versatility, is masterfully carved from precious maple wood, following the ancient and renowned tradition of the master carvers of Val Gardena. The opaque and untreated raw appearance makes each piece an authentic and unrepeatable fragment of nature itself.
