A celebration of Val Gardena craftsmanship that redefines sacred iconography. This modern nativity scene combines the essentiality of contemporary forms with the tactile richness of natural elements, creating a work of profound spirituality and refined minimalism.
The composition is compact and the figures are arranged so as to visually converge towards the Baby Jesus lying in the manger. The posture of the figures, with bowed heads and clasped hands or hands on the chest, captures the intimacy of the scene and conveys a silent and intense contemplation and reverence.
The uniqueness of this sculpture lies in the bold material contrast. The smooth and light parts, such as the faces, hands and body of the Child, are made of precious Maple Wood, chosen for its fine grain and uniform surface, enhanced by a natural transparent finish (for sizes up to 56 cm).
The clothes and details, on the other hand, are obtained through the skillful application of raw natural bark. This alternation between the organic roughness and the softness of the polished wood makes this wooden nativity scene a sculptural and tactile masterpiece, perfect for those seeking a contemporary sacred work of art that blends alpine artisan tradition with a refined design taste.
