Willy Verginer grew up in the northern Italian Val Gardena, in the mountainous landscape of the Dolomites. As an artist he communicates about the indescribable essence of human existence.
Verginer’s unique sculptures unfold the concept of the ‘universal human being’. He shapes his characters from carefully composed blocks of wood. Verginer represents the human body in all its
simplicity and in the context of the prosaic everyday life.
