A long, photographic shot of a narrow exhibition shelf displaying a curated series of small sculptures carved from olive wood offcuts. Each piece represents an abstract interpretation of mythic symbols—spirals, intertwined knots, and stylized animal forms—subtly intersected by engraved runes. The shelf is a simple floating plank of dark-stained wood mounted on a pale, textured wall. Discreet, warm LED strip lighting runs along the underside of the shelf, emphasizing the curves and casting soft, downward shadows that overlap on the wall, creating a rhythmic visual pattern. Shot from slightly off-center at eye level, the composition uses the rule of thirds to lead the viewer’s gaze along the series. The ambiance is that of a modern gallery: calm, sophisticated, and introspective.

L’arte del recupero

Falegnameria artistica che rigenera scarti e olivo in sculture ispirate al mito classico e al mondo runico.

Recupero

Seleziono legni di scarto e d’olivo uno a uno, salvandoli da bruciatori e discariche. Li pulisco, stagiono e trasformo in pezzi unici che raccontano miti classici e simboli runici. Se vuoi donare legno o avviare una collaborazione, scrivimi dalla pagina contatti.

An overhead, photographic still life of carefully arranged reclaimed wood fragments on a dark linen backdrop. Pieces of olive, walnut, and aged oak form a harmonious radial pattern, their different grains and tones resembling a wooden mandala. Within the circle, small inlaid metal accents form discreet classical symbols and runic characters, precisely embedded into the wood. Soft, diffused studio lighting from above reveals the subtle matte and semi-gloss finishes, enhancing texture without harsh reflections. The mood is meditative and scholarly, suggesting a dialogue between ancient myth and contemporary design. The composition is minimalist yet rich, with sharp focus and generous negative space around the arrangement, creating an elegant, portfolio-ready image that conveys the intellectual and artistic depth of the woodworking practice.
A photographic macro shot of a chisel’s blade gently resting in a delicate curl of olive wood shaving. The shaving forms a translucent spiral in tones of cream and light amber, its fibrous texture clearly visible. Beneath, a workbench bears faint engraved outlines of future runic motifs and classical borders sketched in pencil. Light from a nearby window passes through a sheer curtain, creating a soft, diffused glow that makes the shaving almost luminous against the darker wood. The background fades into a creamy blur of clamps and stacked boards. Captured at a very shallow depth of field from a low angle, the mood is intimate and contemplative, emphasizing the precision and poetry of the artisan’s process.
