Why no two ServiArte pieces are the same, even though the design is repeated

Many of you ask me why no two pieces are the same, even though the design is identical.

The answer varies and depends on many things: the material I use, the wood, and the life it has had before reaching my hands.

Wood is not a neutral material. Each slice is different, even when it comes from the same branch. It has grain, knots, small holes, lighter or darker areas, broken bark… details that make each one unique.

I can repeat the same design, yes. But I can't make one slice the same size, the same thickness, or the same color as another.

Everything influences it: the day, the light, the pace of work, and even the moment I'm in. My drawing isn't the same when I'm calm, with a cleaner, more refined line, as when I'm tense or in a hurry, when the stroke becomes straighter and more restrained.
That's why I don't strive for perfection—although I'm quite detail-oriented and a perfectionist, I know how to moderate myself. I strive for balance. For the piece to have meaning.

Every object that comes out of the workshop has passed through my hands at a specific moment and that, although it is not always visible at first glance, I want and know that it shows.

Perhaps that's why, when someone asks me for a custom piece, I try to create it with tranquility, positivity, and calm. Because creating from that place conveys peace, emotion, and affection.

For all these reasons, my pieces are unique, even if the designs are repeated.
ServiArte's pieces are not just designs: they are process, time, and emotion.
