The Modern Abstract Cross is an ode to contemporary Val Gardena craftsmanship, a design piece that transcends traditional representation to explore spirituality through contrast and form. This sculpture is a masterpiece of material and visual balance.
The main body of the cross is carved from precious Maple Wood, characterized by a smooth, satin honey-colored finish that enhances its light grain. This luminous tone contrasts strikingly with the two side inserts of raw wood, with a rough and granular texture, evoking the materiality of rock or bark and adding a unique tactile depth to the piece.
The heart of the cross is defined by a stylized human figure, carved in negative, an emptiness that becomes presence. This abstract silhouette, with arms open in a gesture of welcome, invites reflection, suggesting that spiritual essence is often defined by space and absence rather than physical form.
Available in various sizes (16 cm, 24 cm, 32 cm, 48 cm), the sculpture is made entirely of Maple Wood, according to Dolfi's artisanal tradition for works of these dimensions. We also offer the exclusive variant made of authentic Italian Olive Wood, known for its deep veins and its historical-religious significance. Choose from finishes C (colored), GH (light-patinated), U (olive), and N (natural) to find the perfect expression of your faith and style.
