Romanian Artist Uses A Chainsaw To Turn Trees Into Sculptures, And The Result Is Impressive

361

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!

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    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.

    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. :)

    What is it about Romania and Russia that their residents create these magnificent art pieces? Is there nothing to do so they just hone their craft?

    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.
