This stylized owl embodies the essence of Val Gardena craftsmanship, combining modern minimalism with the warm materiality of wood. The sculpture presents a frontal and compact pose, characterized by a fascinating surface contrast that defines its unique character.
The front, smooth and polished, shines in light shades of beige or cream, highlighting the natural grain. The sides and top, conversely, showcase a rough, textured finish in dark shades of grey and brown, evoking the texture of tree bark. The expression is conveyed through simplicity: two large, opaque black eyes give a watchful and contemplative gaze. Thanks to its 5 cm size, this sculpture is entirely made of maple wood, a choice that guarantees impeccable detail definition and superior durability. Carved from a single block, this monolithic work is a testament to the craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation.
