Original caption

Antonio Reiné carves a sculpture of Jesus Christ with remarkable precision, gradually transforming wood into a detailed human figure. Each cut contributes to the form, showing the patience and control behind a process that is fascinating to watch. Originally from Cádiz, Spain, Reiné centers his work on the human body and its ability to express emotion. That attention to anatomy and expression gives his sculptures more than a convincing likeness. It gives them presence. Artist: @Antonio Reiné #art #sculpture #woodcarving #craftsmanship #artist
