About San

Self-taught Dutch woodcarver Sander Opdam has been carving since 2004. Although this profession has been labelled as a dying art form it is very much alive in him.


San's Skulpturen is the product of a love and respect for traditional artisan practices and natural materials. San's creations draw inspiration from the organic shapes of Art Nouveau, the elegant geometrics of Art Deco as well as responding to the natural lines and colours of individual blocks of wood. His attention to detail and adherence to classic methods of carving make every piece unique, and he is most satisfied by working together with a client to see a particular design come to life - making a beautiful item emerge from a simple block of wood.
