Just seen these great works of the carpenter Livio De Marchi, really amazing.”

Livio De Marchi was born in Venezia where, still a child, he worked on ornamental sculpture in the Venetian tradition in the workshop of a crafting and in the meantime he studied art and drawing at the “Accademia di Belle Arti” in Venice.

His activity starts there, displaying at once an astounding skill in moulding materials.

The material has been transformed by him with ironical sensitivity that brought him to create sculptures that keep perfection of detail as well spontaneity and essence. During his artistic evolution he worked first in marble, then bronze, and eventually in wood. But wood has always been his favourite material because it gives him a vitality which other materials do not.

After opening his own studio, Livio De Marchi allowed his fantasy to run free, declaring his way of being, his interior world. After a deep inner evolution his ironical ability to “see” life got the upper hand in letting him carve this kind of sculpture.

You can see some designs of his car boats running in the waters of venice. He is the only man who can drive in venice, both on roads and water.
