RARÍSIMO
     
Para el tallista autodidacta de la Serra da Estrela (Beira Alta, Portugal), la necesidad de experimentación y de autoexpresión a través de la naturaleza le hizo percatarse de algo único que las llamas crean a su paso. Así nació el proyecto Vago.

CONOZCA AL ARTESANO

ARTE QUE RENACE DE LAS CENIZAS

Creado por Luca D'Ortenzi, que recoge madera quemada de los incendios de 2022 en la Serra da Estrela, transformando la devastación en objetos duraderos. Su enfoque intuitivo resalta las marcas del fuego, celebrando la resiliencia de la naturaleza.
Background and Motivation

Luca D’Ortenzi is an Italian woodturner and sculptor who founded Project Vago in the wake of the 2022 wildfires in Serra da Estrela, where he lives and works. Instead of walking away from the devastation, he walked right into it, collecting burnt wood from scorched forests and fallen centenarian trees.

Purpose of Project Vago

Project Vago was born from that instinct: to turn what was lost into something lasting.

Technique and Process

He works intuitively, carving objects that carry the visible memory of fire—cracked textures, blackened contours, exposed grain. His process involves abrasive carving, waxing, and his own artisanal charring techniques, developed over time through patient experimentation.

Philosophy and Artistic Vision

Each piece begins with a raw fragment from burnt wood and ends as a meditation on survival and transformation. The burn marks are left visible, sometimes even deepened. “I don’t try to erase what happened,” he says. “I highlight it.”
