Spirit of the Forest

Spirit of the Forest is a refined three-dimensional wood artwork inspired by the mystery and elegance of nature. The owl’s intense gaze, layered feathers, and intricate details create a lifelike presence that transforms the piece into a small yet powerful sculptural composition.

Created using the delicate technique of raised wood marquetry and carving, every element has been individually cut, shaped, and assembled entirely by hand.

An ultra-fine German fret-saw blade, size 004, thinner than a human hair, was used to achieve the extraordinary precision visible in the feathers and ornamental details.

Approximately 500 individual pieces of natural wood have been carefully assembled to create this intricate composition. Its layered relief structure gives the artwork depth, movement, and a sculptural character that invites the viewer to appreciate both its visual complexity and the tactile beauty of wood.

A selection of valuable natural woods including walnut, jujube, maple, purpleheart, barberry, pear, and other wood species has been used. The colors visible throughout the artwork are entirely derived from the natural tones of the woods, without artificial pigments or dyes.

The artwork is finished with three layers of Italian Bromax plant-based oil, preserving the warmth and texture of the wood while helping protect it from humidity and environmental influences.
