Turkey. Nativity scene in maple wood carved and hand painted with oil colors in Val Gardena; work of the sculptor Harald Kastlunger and made by the company Lepi.
I firmly believe that Christmas, a celebration of peace and a bearer of peace, represents much more than a moment of magical atmosphere. The richness of the characters manifests itself as a feast for the eyes and consequently as an exultation of the soul for the incredible event that is the advent of Christ. It is with this spirit that - distancing myself from clichés and traditional patterns - I try to infuse my figures with the distinctive characteristics of genuineness, the archaic accent of a full awareness of earthly existence. The sense of participation finds its expression in the language of the hands and in the movements, intended to convey to the observer the extraordinary greatness of the miracle.
