Gerard Mas’s realistic animal sculptures: carved wood and alabaster with charring

Gerard Mas (previously here), a Barcelona-based Italian sculptor, has been recognized for his unique approach to creating animal sculptures. Utilizing massive tree trunks and alabaster stones, Mas carves out animal figures with a remarkable level of realism. What sets his work apart is the technique of charring to paint the darker parts of the animals’ ‘fur’, enhancing the lifelike appearance of the sculptures.

This method not only adds depth and contrast but also brings an element of texture that mimics the natural shading and fur patterns of the animals he depicts. His work has garnered attention for its innovative blend of traditional sculpting methods and contemporary finishing techniques, making his pieces highly sought after in the art community.
