About this ebook
Take a wonderful adventure into the world of handmade woodcarving!
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born on December 22, 1962, in Romania, Florin Cristea studied Physics and Mathematics in Highschool, and worked as an economist for a while. After the violent events of 1989, he started paving a new path which brought him here, to the present day.
The artist has been working with wood since 1992 and he loves it. Most of his sculptures have their natural wood color. They have been treated with oils to preserve the wood but they have not been painted. The wood has been worked with chisels and on close inspection, one can see the refined attention to detail that the artist has given to his creations. The chisel bites in the wood are clearly led by a human hand and not a machine, which offers authenticity to all of Cristea's artworks. He has created numerous pieces, and his work has been exhibited widely, nationally and internationally.
Florin Cristea lives and works in Vrancea, Romania, he is married, has one daughter, and many one-of-a-kind woodcarvings.
