My name is Alessandro, i represent "Artisti del Sole" on this community site. "Artisti del Sole" is a group of 3 artists who love to carve and decorate wood using concentrated sunlight by the mean of a crystal lens. "The Sunlight Carving technique", like they called it, gives some fascinating results. The artworks (bas-relief, sculptures) are full of expressive power and rich of natural energy, condensed in hours of patient and costant exposition of the wood to concentrated sunlight.

Artisti del Sole formed in the spring of 2003 in Tuscany, near Florence (Italy). They used to practise in a beautiful wood, crossed by a stream Rio Buti, on the southern hills of the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. There they could enjoy the beauty of the nature and the power of the Sun, away from the caos and noise of the city.

Their lives are based on complete respect and love for any aspect of nature and the trial for self-realisation.

Artisti del Sole do not follow any particular religion or esoteric school. They know pretty well the natural world, love to play music and look forward to live in a simple way, away from stressing and conditioning elements of modern life in the cities.

Artisti del Sole consider the earth as a mother, they love to work in isolated places and follow a simple lifestyle based on freedom and respect.

Really wonderful crafts. It is really an art to create such wonderful and full of meaning sculptures using only the power of the sun.
It's pure beauty.
