Traveler standing, 18 cm Angela Tripi

Traveler standing, 18 cm Angela Tripi.
The young traveler is bare-chested with a backpack on his shoulder, always ready to leave to discover new cities. The Sicilian artist Angela Tripi has represented this character with particular characteristics, such as; hair gathered in a long tail, earrings and tattoos. The wayfarer carries in his hands a small bowl with the hope of receiving some offers from passers-by to get food or some money to set off in search of a new place to discover.
All the statues are handmade, in terracotta and cloth, then meticulously painted by hand. They are beautiful works of art made with skill and attention at Angela Tripi's artistic workshop. Normally the statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, are made with a skeleton made with fabrics and with the ends in terracotta (the head, hands and feet). The nativity statues of Angela Tripi instead have completely formed bodies: they are modeled naked and subsequently dressed with fabrics and small jewels. In her works, the artist tells a story: each statue is depicted in a moment of their life, giving us to the opportunity to understand the existence of a before and after moment. Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each nativity character an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: no two pieces are ever the same, forever unique. Adapted for an 19 cm nativity set. CHARACTERS MAY DIFFER FROM THE PHOTO AS EVERY SCULPTURE IS A UNIQUE PIECE, BY CHOICE FROM THE ARTIST.
