An art in the hands of a few

The artists who work in the I Figurari studio, have been carefully selected from those that have followed a specialisation course and could demonstrate indisputable artistic gifts: the majority are graduates from the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples, who have completed their
course with a specialisation in crib art, guided by the most important and noted Partenopean critics and scholars.
The creation of an artistic figurine follows the technique of the Traditional Partenopean School, consisting of different phases each one of which is entrusted to a specific artist:
Set design - sculpture - painting - clothes design - which are then completed with the work of a number of miniaturists who create the precious accessories and various complementary items.
The value of the final result depends above all on the professionally of the artist who is employed, each sculpture is in fact signed by the sculptor who created it and is authenticated by the placing of the trade mark of I Figurari.
The expressive quality of the heads is the merit of the ability of the sculptor and therefore on the bravura of the painter, the perfection
of the assembling of the body derives from the ability of the clothes designer who individualises the right proportions and chooses the type of costume most suitable, the other artists and artisans then collaborate to complete the work with the creation of the most beautiful miniature objects and accessories.
In the end, only the expertise of the set designer will decide whether a composition becomes an organic theatrical representation or a banal joining together of scenes of seventeenth century life.
