From childhood, we remember very well the adventures of Pinocchio or our Pinocchio. Papa Carlo was able to breathe life into a simple log and a wooden man appeared in front of us, whom we loved very much.
But it turns out that today there is such a dad, Carlo, an Italian sculptor and artist Peter Demets. The skill of this Italian artist really boggles the imagination, making you look at the "boring" wood in a different way.
His stunning wooden sculptures of men, women and children are so intricate, realistic and detailed that it is very easy to confuse them with real people, who simply cannot be distinguished from real people.
Peter Demec was born in the province of Bolzano, Italy, in 1969. Received art education, graduating from art school in Ortisei. Then from 1983 to 1990 he studied the art of sculpture in the workshop of Heinrich Demetz. In 1993, Peter received his master's degree in sculpture and since that time has been participating in various group and solo exhibitions.
The peculiarity of this sculptor is that he creates his works from a rather complex material - wood. But certain difficulties in creating sculptures do not bother Peter, in his skillful hands the tree turns into realistic and very detailed figures of people, which amaze the audience of exhibitions of the sculptor's works.
Peter Demets is not only an artist, sculptor and master of unique woodcarving, he is the founder of the direction of three-dimensional composition, with surgical precision creating images that endure routine life situations.
It seems that one more moment, and they will turn to you and, looking into your eyes, tell about themselves, ask for help or, laughing, leave. The anatomical accuracy of the figures, the depth of the play of time, light and space through the interaction of elements evokes a state of deep emotion, sympathy or joy in the viewer. Reality disappears, leaving us for a moment in a world of images full of intense depth, created by Peter Demets.
