Naturale artificiale (Natural Artificial)

The proud heart of stone, torn from the rugged Carnic mountains of Verzegnis, bends to the will and the skilful, gentle hand of the Sardinian artist. The two are harmoniously united by the ceaseless flow of water that joyfully springs from within it. 

Like in a Zen garden, the stone assumes a symbolic function, leading back to the essence of nature but also to the continuity of human experience over time. 

— Rossella Savorgnan Di Brazzà

Albino Demartis was born in Fordongianus (Oristano), where he still lives and works. From a very young age he cultivated a passion for stone carving, which later became both his profession and a source of inspiration for his sculptures. 

In 1992, he participated for the first time in the Trachyte Stone Symposium of Fordongianus, to which he was invited again in 1995, 1997 and 2000. Thanks to his technical skill, he has created works that have been widely appreciated at the national level.
