Aron Demetz

Aron Demetz is an Italian sculptor, born in 1972, whose artistic philosophy centers on the relationship between humans and nature, and the interplay between material and spirit. He is renowned for his use of wood as a medium, with his sculptures often emphasizing the natural textures and processes of the material—such as burning or decay—to explore themes of life, death, and regeneration. His works reflect a primal energy, using the organic transformation of wood to highlight human fragility and the potential for self-repair and renewal. Demetz’s art transcends technical pursuits, delving into the existential and deeper essence of human nature.
