Georg Demetz Pilat was born in 1962 into a family with strong ties to wood sculpture for four generations. Following his studies at the Art Academy in Ortisei, he had the possibility of learning the trade from different master sculptors. In 1987 he completed the qualification of maestro scultore and since then he has worked in his own workshop in Ortisei near Bolzano where he handcrafts sculptural elements, ornaments and nativity scenes in wood. His works are carried out with incredible mastery, technical precision and attention to detail, his hands giving life to magical yet realistic sculptures.
