From The Woods to the Road – Fulvio Semenza Presents His Handmade Creations
Let’s face it, no matter the age written on our documents, deep inside us there is that child’s spirit that starts to dream as soon as we see a toy car. We immediately go back in time and in a fraction of a second we relive those moments that marked our childhood, bringing that innocent passion until today, where toys get bigger and more expensive.
Fulvio Semenza is a musician, a writer, a teacher, a craftsman, in short, an artist. He is also the one who from the body of a tree is able to carve any subject and among his favorites you’ll find animals and cars. The manufacturing process is entirely handmade, which makes his pieces unique and characterized by the particular grain of the wood. The level of detail is incredible both when you look at one of the robins in their eyes, both when you admire the silhouette of those cars that have marked the history of automobile, such as the Porsche 911 or the Jaguar E-Type. Yep, from the woods straight to the road!
It is an emotional relationship with nature, leading him to dive in the silence of the woods soon interrupted by the noise of the chainsaw which brings to life an inspiration simply born by observing a log and enhancing an artisan discipline that especially in such a period of physical isolation and immersion in a virtual world needs to be preserved.
