St. Carlo Acutis

St. Carlo Acutis was a young Catholic known for his deep devotion to the Holy Eucharist, love of the Blessed Virgin Mary, regular recitation of the Rosary, and remarkable ability to use modern technology in the service of the Church.

Carlo became especially well known for creating a digital exhibition documenting Eucharistic miracles from around the world, using his computer skills to help others better understand and appreciate the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

His youthful appearance, ordinary clothing, and familiarity with computers and the internet have made him an especially powerful patron and example for young Catholics.

The Demetz #600/250 captures this approachable quality while maintaining the reverence and craftsmanship expected of fine ecclesiastical statuary.

Wood Carved

• The Demetz Art Studio has been working with wood for over 130 years, following the tradition of wood carving in Val Gardena. Wood carvings are valuable for their timeless beauty as they become more precious with age.
• The kind of wood used to create these fine works of art is called Linden wood or Lime wood (Lat. Tilia). It is imported rom Eastern Europe, cut, and kiln dried in the workshop. After that, blocks of wood get glued together to form the block needed for the size of the statue to be carved.
• Linden wood is used for carving because it is not too hard, fairly white in color and when professionally kiln dried, it does not make small cracks later. The latter is much more likely to happen with pine wood. Only the heartwood of the tree trunk is used because it is almost knotless. That way the wooden statue will have an even, homogeneous surface and a fine woodgrain appearance.
• In Val Gardena, a Northern region of Italy, the tradition of wood carving dates back to the 17th century
• The colors used in the studio are regular oil colors. Even though the statues look polychrome, the artists use only 12 basic colors. These get mixed by hand to obtain endless varieties and shades. The final result depends on the pigments, the technique, the manual skills and the experience of the master painter. As a result, each statue is a unique piece in its coloring and design.

Each artwork is uniquely crafted and handmade to order; it may be slightly different in shape, size, texture, and color from what is shown in pictures. All work can be customized in color and dimensions.

Full custom works are also available. To see samples of our custom statuary visit our renovations & interior site here.

Colored finishes and wood are not recommended for outdoor use. Fiberglass in a monotone finish is suggested.

All statuary is shipped freight and imported via Italy. A freight quote can be provided, and billed separately. Please allow 8-12 weeks for delivery.
