The Madonna “Mother of Kindness” turns lovingly to the Child on her arm. The title recalls Mary's kindness and mercy, to which the faithful have turned with their intentions for centuries.
Every figure is hand-carved in our partner workshop in Val Gardena (South Tyrol) – production is overseen by master sculptor Karl Demetz. Woodcarving has a long tradition in the Gardena Valley: as early as the 17th century it was widespread there. Every piece is one of a kind: grain, carving marks and painting always turn out a little different.

Motif & meaning
The Madonna with Child “Mother of Kindness” stands for compassion, love and care – qualities inseparably linked with Mary in the Christian faith. In this depiction she holds the Child Jesus close, while both figures look at one another with a gentle expression. This gesture reflects the intimate relationship between mother and son and becomes an image of divine mercy.
The motif “Mother of Kindness” goes back to a long tradition of Marian art. It emphasises the merciful side of the Mother of God, who offers comfort and protection to all people. The figure recalls that grace and love are inseparably joined in faith. Her quiet smile and open posture invite you to pause and reflect.
Whether as the focus of devotion at home, as a christening gift or as a symbol of family closeness – this Madonna carries a clear message: kindness and love are the strongest forces in life. It joins the beauty of classic craftsmanship with a spiritual depth that enriches any room.
Finish, origin & special features
The Madonna with Child “Mother of Kindness” is made in the workshop of Demi Art S.r.l. in the Gardena Valley (Val Gardena) in South Tyrol – a place known for centuries for its masterly woodcarving. Under the direction of master sculptor Karl Demetz, figures are created there that join tradition, faith and artistic precision.
The lime wood used is carefully selected and gently dried over several years. Thanks to its fine structure, this wood is especially well suited to precise carving and richly detailed depictions. The production process comprises numerous craft steps – from the rough cutting through the fine carving to sanding, priming and the final painting or gilding.
The figure is available in several finishes, each with its own aura:
– Natural – untreated, with fine grain and warm wood colour
– 3-tone stained – soft colour gradients that emphasise depth and contrast
– Coloured – hand-painted with high-quality oil paints
– Genuine gold leaf – noble gilding with lustre
Each figure is carefully inspected before it leaves the workshop. The optional Val Gardena quality seal stands for verified origin and craft quality from South Tyrol. The combination of artistic sensitivity, traditional manufacture and spiritual symbolism makes the “Mother of Kindness” a lasting expression of genuine devotional art – created to endure.
