Art Brokerage: Artist Luciano De Marchi - "Wood is something warm, lively, sweet" - says Luciano De Marchi - "a material that feel close, I feel brother. The smell of wood is invaluable because it gives us a fill of the senses." There are those who sculpts to dominate. He carves wood for a living, because for him it is a vital need. The choice of subject is to sculpt action often unconscious. The religious theme that has carved the most was the nativity. It gives a sense of peace, this child born in a manger, the angels singing, the shepherds flock that start with the cave. More than many pastors, De Marchi sculpt like so many sheep. Large, small, of all sizes as they are men. And 'the flock of people wandering the world and must be saved. According to the artist, men must become like the trees, well anchored to the ground but which continue to provide shade, fruit, wood and never ask anyone anything. A constant giving without asking. Even Jesus is a tree, the tree of life.
