Romanian Artist Uses A Chainsaw To Turn Trees Into Sculptures, And The Result Is Impressive
Gabi Rizea is a 42-year-old artist from Romania. He creates incredible sculptures from wood and is well known in his country.
Three years ago Gabi discovered his talent for wood carving completely by accident. He bought himself a new chainsaw and tried carving a human face into a wood block just to try it out. It turned out pretty good so the artist kept working on his skills.
The local authorities of his home city of Craiova, Romania, allowed him to work on the old tree stumps all over the local parks and now his art is seen and loved by many people. Below you can see some of his works yourself!

Chainsaw sculpting is both gorgeous and badass as hell :oD Amazing work!
Wow! This is so cool! My mom's neighbor is a dentist and he has a big toothbrush carved from an old tree in his yard.
Was trying to find positive comments about the artist and his work but I was ... stumped.
These are all just amazing! The amount of talent time and creativity that went into these is clear, and totally worth it!
I love the first one - the bucket. Makes me think of an invisible Paul Bunyan feeding Babe. It also cracks me up that he put down a drop-cloth to catch the sawdust from a tree stump in the woods. :)
This in one of the stupidest comments I've read on BP. FYI missie, us Romanians are a fun and life-loving people so this type of thing comes natural to us. We do have jobs, we do party (quite hard tbh) and believe me when I tell you that there's a lot to do around here. Same goes for the Russians. There's nothing special about these two cointries, other tham maybe the fact that we do genuinely enjoy creating stuff in our free time.
