Young Syrian sculptor transforms wood into magnificent artworks

The young sculptor Yusha  Fadel  chose wood as a raw material for his sculptures to embody faces, features and other topics   that were meticulous in detail and beauty. Through his magnificent  sculptors ,  Fadel occupied a prominent position  in the fields of wood carving and decoration.

“I started practicing  carving  6 years ago . I inherited this skill  from my father, who was a school teacher and a carpenter. He  worked  in decoration and  was  interested  in calligraphy” Fadel told SANA.

He  added  that he  learned from  his father  a lot of modern  designs, especially in the art of sculpture, indicating that he  chose colors carefully to turn his  wooden artworks  into masterpieces. 

The sculptor Fadel designs wooden wall decorations, art paintings and engravings on doors, in addition to Pharaonic drawings and wall clocks  in unique shapes. 

He also launched a new experience  in making synthetic wooden masterpieces for children to develop their mental skills. 

The thirty-year-old  sculptor , who is from Lattakia province, opened his own workshop and carried out  many designs in Syria and Lebanon. He  confirmed  that he loves his craft even though it needs  great effort and results in  fatigue.

Fadel is keen on introducing  his distinguished  creativity  in the craft of carving on wood.
