The Bark Angel is a sculpture that celebrates the essence of Val Gardena craftsmanship through a minimalist and contemporary artistic language. This angelic figure stands out for its powerful material contrast and essential silhouette.
The angel's body is carved from a piece of natural wood, preserving the organic and rough texture of its bark. This unconventional choice transforms the simplicity of raw material into an object of sacred and domestic art, making each piece intrinsically unique. The stylized conical shape, tapering upwards, culminates in a smooth, featureless oval head, inviting silent contemplation.
Completing the work are the symmetrical wings made of metal with a burnished and patinated finish. The rusted surface of the wings creates a splendid dichotomy: the solidity and cold sheen of oxidized metal meet the warmth and earthly vitality of raw wood. A true masterpiece of material balance, masterfully forged by our artisans, a testament to the superior quality of wood carving in Val Gardena.
