The diversity of saint figures: unique wood carvings from Val Gardena

Saint figures are among the most traditional works of art in Val Gardena woodcarving. With their detailed design and spiritual significance, they are not only an expression of faith but also a sign of masterful craftsmanship. In our online shop www.groednerholzschnitzerei.at , we offer a wide selection of saint figures, available in various designs to suit a variety of tastes.

The three versions of the saint figures

1. Natural
   The natural version showcases the beauty of the wood in its purest form. Without additional colors or stains, the wood grain is emphasized, highlighting the carvers' craftsmanship.
2. Hand-stained
   In the stained version, the figures are treated with special wood stains to give them a warm, natural tone. This technique lends the carvings depth and a subtle, timeless charm.
3. Elaborately hand-painted (mounted)
   The elaborately colored figures are painted using traditional barrel painting techniques by regional artists in Val Gardena. With fine brushes and high-quality paints, each figure becomes a unique work of art. This technique is particularly expressive and elaborate—and therefore more valuable.
