Woodsman 18cm by Angela Tripi

Nativity woodsman, 18cm by Angela Tripi.
The woodsman is humble man who works a heavy job which leaves deep lines on his face; he is a simple and strong man.
Nativity scene figurine made by Italian artist Angela Tripi.
Each character is completely hand-made, different and therefore unique. The figurines are extraordinarily detailed, charismatics and expressive.
Angela's statues have a complete body: this means that the character is created naked and then is dressed with clothes(unlike other statuettes where only hands, feet and head are completely sculpted).
You will be able to notice particulars like the tense muscles, tendons and expression wrinkles. While looking at these small pieces of art, you will realise you are looking at the history of a man or woman, "captured" in a particular moment of their life.
