About me

I have the soul of a carpenter...

My name is Joseph, like the biblical first carpenter in history, but to everyone, relatives and friends, I'm known as Pino.... since the day I was born, I've had wood-shavings written in my destiny.

I create wood-carvings out of my own imagination with the purpose of ennobling material, which will live on after its biological end. I love the interaction between wood and different materials like copper, resin and glass; my personal style comes from this fusion, leaving the honour of the principal role to wood.

When an idea comes into my head, I look for wood which gives me inspiration, follow its grain and shape and shut myself away at my lathe. A work of craftsmanship has its own soul and the craftsman knows its very essence, hoping that the same deep feeling will be shared by the person who chooses it for someone else, or into whose possession it goes.

I am a man of few words and hope that my carvings will speak for me.
