Mario Philippona
If you’re looking for a unique way to spruce up the home or office, try a piece from Mario Philippona. Currently working in the Netherlands, Mario claims that the female figure is, “the most attractive thing in nature” and we don’t blame him.
He designs from life size figures then assembles from pre-cut pieces of wood so that they are proportional to what you’d expect. He sees perfectionism, he writes on his site, “in the way women use fashion, high heels, fitness, and plastic surgery to portray themselves,” and cites artists Allen Jones and Salvador Dali as inspiration. His works are finished with natural oil and wax and handcrafted from regional timber, the colors and textures of which he uses to emphasize his forms. via
