WOODEN SCULPTURE

Wooden sculpture is probably the oldest direction in the art of sculpture, because wood is an accessible, renewable material that does not require complex technical equipment, but working with it requires from the master a volumetric perception of the idea to create an image either intentionally real or emphasized fabulous, which allows to convey the idea of a continuous and indisputable connection between the informational and material essence of existence.
