Ships stir our longing and imagination; they carry our dreams to new shores.
"Roland Wolff—Ship Sculptures"
My artistic focus is on creating unique ship sculptures. I carefully carve the shape of the ship from various types of natural wood. In doing so, I primarily use found pieces from my immediate surroundings—pieces of wood in which the shape is often already somewhat recognizable. Through careful craftsmanship, I give each ship its own character and an unmistakable personality.
After working in carpentry shops, elderly care, and museum technology, I have been working as a freelance wood artist since 2004. Ever since then, the theme of “ships” has repeatedly captivated me and inspired me to create new objects. Ships tap into our longing and imagination; they carry our dreams to new shores. This feeling resonates with many people.
In addition to my ship-themed objects, I also create woodblock prints featuring maritime motifs. I often use multi-printing techniques that involve various printing blocks and colors.
I present my work—both objects and prints—annually in exhibitions in northern Germany.
I live and work in Beughorst, Kronsberg, on the edge of the Barther Stadtwald. Here I find the peace and space I need for my creative work. My workshop and a small exhibition space are located on my property.
I would be happy to welcome you by appointment to experience my work in person.
