Matthias Kostner discovered his passion for sculpture early on. He cultivated his talent from 1996 to 2000 at the Vocational School for Sculpture in St. Ulrich, where he learned traditions and techniques, and developed his craftsmanship. In 2009, Matthias was ready to spread his wings and operate as an independent artist, opening his own workshop in St. Ulrich, where he has since brought his creative vision to life.<\/p>\n<p>The artist creates realistic sculptures that place everyday people at the forefront.<\/p>\n<p>He embodies the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary expression. The artist is deeply rooted in the tradition of the famous wood carving art of Val Gardena, dating back to the sixteenth century.<\/p>\n<p>Matthias Kostner creates artworks that capture the expressive power of the moment, without resorting to existentialist pathos. His sculptures depict people in movement and action. Through his subtle use of wood and other materials, Matthias Kostner creates art that captures life in all its diversity and beauty.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>\u2018Art of Everyday Life Connected to
