Every figure of the Angela Tripi nativity is characterized by it's great attention to detail. The artist is inspired by the antique Arab traditions, recreates the history and customs appropriately as a personal interpretation of the characters of the period. While the terracotta statues of traditional nativity scene are constructed from a skeleton covered with clothes to which the extremities are applied (head and limbs), Angela Tripi's statues have a completely formed body: they are moulded nude and subsequently dressed with fabrics and small jewels, details giving the statue an amazing realism. The artist gives personality, charisma and charm to each creation. Details such as; expression lines, wrinkles, grins, tendons, muscles emerge clearly. Above all, while a traditional statue, has a static nature of an expression ,admiring these works you realize that there is a story behind those faces and those looks, a life, that Tripi captures the essence of a particular moment. The craftsmanship of each statue makes each piece always different and unique.
