Claudio Aun works in pristine white stone to depict the nativity scene. Artisan Info: I was born in Sao Paulo in 1943, to a family of wood joiners. I spent a good part of my life in the furniture workshop and to this day, I remember how huge logs of wood were transformed into tables, wardrobes, chairs, and sofas. However, I was starting to feel uncomfortable about the idea of chopping down trees in order to make pieces of furniture. That's one of the reasons why I refuse to sculpt in wood. When I do need a piece of wood for my work, I use the chippings I find on the floor. I've always had a penchant for recycling, even at a young age. I just needed to find a shell, a seed, or a dry leaf, to create something different. I can safely say my career began in 1969, and I cannot deny my passion for the works of Salvador Dali - master of Surrealism - as well as my admiration or Vincent Van Gogh. I don't follow a specific line of work or style. I tend to explore the limits of my creativity.
