Peter Demetz: A day with you
Peter Demetz was born in Bolzano in 1969 and trained in the tradition of wood carving from Val Gardena. After graduating as a Master Sculptor, he developed a personal artistic language that combines craftsmanship with contemporary sensibility. His works mainly depict human figures carved in wood, often set within minimalist architectural spaces. The characters appear suspended in moments of waiting, interaction, and reflection. His artistic research explores the relationship between figure, space, light, and perception. The scenes are deliberately ambiguous: they do not tell a specific story but invite the viewer to imagine and interpret them. With meticulous attention to detail, Demetz transforms wood into a silent, almost cinematic reality. He has exhibited in Italy and abroad, establishing himself as one of the most interesting contemporary interpreters of figurative sculpture.
