Woman with pumpkins for Angela Tripi's Nativity Scene of 13 cm.
The woman with pumpkins from the Angela Tripi atelier depicts a countrywoman carrying the fruits of the earth.
The figurine bears a shoulder-box containing one pumpkin and supports a basket with a second pumpkin, a composition that evokes the daily life and the markets of the past as reinterpreted by Angela Tripi.
The statue is entirely hand-modelled in terracotta and subsequently dressed with carefully selected fabrics.
Every detail, from the woman's posture and accessories to the expressiveness of the face, is devised to convey naturalness and authenticity, creating a figure with strong scenic impact.
The Tripi atelier is distinguished by an artistic approach that transcends the classical Nativity tradition: inspired by the atmospheres of the ancient Arab world, the artists reinterpret clothing, physiognomies and settings with historical sensitivity.
Unlike traditional Nativity figurines, the body is modelled integrally in terracotta and only afterwards clothed and enriched with small ornaments, achieving harmonious proportions and extraordinary realism.
Each creation tells a story through expressive faces, the tension of the hands, the folds of garments and the naturalness of poses; wrinkles, muscles, tendons and gazes are sculpted with precision to capture a precise instant of life and transform it into a timeless work.
Entirely handcrafted, every statue is a unique piece, with slight differences that attest to its authenticity and artisanal excellence.
