Realistic Life-like wood sculptures of people by Peter Demetz — with incredible details!
Italian artist Peter Demetz is a very talented wood sculptor. He carves beautiful life-like wooden sculptures of people with incredibly intricate details. Each image, featured below, looks so realistic and it portrays a fascinating narrative — There is a bikini-clad woman walking on the beach in melancholic mood and a half-naked couple reaching out their hands to each other. Some sculptures are just people standing around, yet they look strikingly natural and dynamic. Indeed, truly amazing!
Enjoy this elegant artwork!
