Gabi Rizea is a Romanian artist who wields a chainsaw as his sculptor's blade. The above work from a few years ago is what has most captured the Internet's attention and drawn appreciation from around the world. As an optical illusion, the pouring bucket of water supported by the liquid creates a surrealistic impression.
But many of his works, such as this angelic figure marked "nothing without God" demonstrate a more traditionalist aesthetic.
This fairytale-like sculpture may be for a children's park. I gather from an interview with My Modern Met that he created several pieces to entertain younger people.
Although I don't know the meaning of this piece, I suspect that it may reflect Romanian folklore and literature, which is a major theme in Rizea's corpus. You can check it out yourself on Instagram.
