The soul of the mountain sculpted in wood
I couldn't live far from the mountains and alpine pastures of the valley where I was born, and the everyday life there. I am inspired by fragments of the lives of ordinary people who experience strong emotions every day, like joy, happiness, sadness and suffering. This is what I try to inject into the faces of my sculptures. I emphasise details which highlight the state of my characters' souls: wrinkled foreheads, slightly parted lips, eyes open wide. The Désarpa is the work which best represents my style, and which I sometimes set aside when I create modern sculptures with clean lines, without embellishment.
