Description

The sculpture "My Garden" captures an instance of quiet and profound tenderness, transporting us to a flowery meadow where time seems to have stood still. The scene depicts a child engrossed in a gesture of affection, sitting amidst blades of grass and colorful blossoms, as he offers a small bouquet to his faithful teddy bear.

Every element is rendered with extraordinary craftsmanship. One can note the voluminous curls of the hair, the soft folds of the dress suggesting lightness, and the sweet, concentrated expression on the face, with eyes turned towards the toy. The matte finish, achieved through meticulous hand-painting in warm, natural tones (peach, cream, and copper), enhances the three-dimensionality and emotional realism of the artwork.

This precious figurine is hand-carved by master artisans from Val Gardena. For sizes 4 cm and 12 cm, the artwork is crafted from fine maple wood, chosen for its fine and compact grain that allows for impeccable definition even of the smallest details, such as the flower petals and the scalloped edges of the dress. A masterpiece that celebrates the innocence and joy of childhood, bearing witness to Dolomitic sculptural excellence.

Detail & Meaning
<p>Although not a traditional sacred depiction, this sculpture fits into the artistic thread of celebrating 'Pure Innocence' or Pueritia, a theme that exalts the purity of heart and selfless love typical of childhood. The interaction between the child and the teddy bear is a universal symbol of friendship, comfort, and the ability to find happiness in the simplest gestures.</p><p>The gesture of offering flowers to the teddy bear symbolizes the act of giving without expectations, while the setting of the flower garden evokes Eden, a place of primordial harmony and growth. This figurine serves as a memento of the intrinsic beauty of childhood and the need to preserve that spontaneity and capacity for wonder throughout adult life.</p>
Story
<p>The tradition of wood craftsmanship in Val Gardena dates back to the 17th century, when local farmers began carving religious figurines during the long winter months to supplement their agricultural income. Initially focused on Crucifixes and Saints, production evolved over time, extending to secular subjects and scenes of daily life.</p><p>Today, sculptures like "My Garden" represent the fusion of ancient sculptural expertise, handed down from generation to generation, and a modern artistic sensibility. The use of advanced painting and finishing techniques on maple wood allows Dolfi's masters to continue honoring the sculptural history of the region, bringing the emotion of Val Gardena into every home.</p>
