Artist's Presentation Marian Hetea

My name is Marian Hetea, I am 60 years old and live in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I spent my life at the design drawing board, but my great passion is giving different shapes to pieces of wood. I love this material, its smell, energy and the life in it, I communicate and collaborate with it.

With a few chisels, patience and a little polish I reveal what I see hidden beneath the surface of the branches, planks or pieces of wood that other use to make fire.
