The Wood Magician - Osvaldo Orellana, Wood Sculptor 

Un dicho popular... Si es Chileno es Bueno. Mis respetos y admiración por usted Don Osvaldo

I had a chance to meet this father and son, and all I can say about them and his art work is that their work is a blessing from GOD to be shared to the world.

It had been a pleasure to meet Osvaldo, I know him since long time ago and I have the privilege to see him almost everyday and see the new project that he is working on. Every single piece that he carved is a master piece, right at this time he is working on a Pinocchio head that is spectacular. He is a gifted man!!!!!

I think you could actually call him the Michelangelo of Wood - Wow What a Amazing Artist and truly inspiring Story! Loved It....

God is good, what a profound documentary of an extraordinary being

Had the pleasure of seeing his work in person. Used to work right next door to him. I always have told people about how good he is at his craft and I finally found him after 3 years! Awesome!!!

My gosh I loved this video. Mr. Oconnor said it all below. The prison story blew me away. I'm so glad it truly went well for him. Thank you much for posting.

Great story. I’m really glad I took the time to watch it

A very moving story, a well-deserved success. God bless el Chileno!

It's a stagecoach robbery, that's incredibly detail and inspiring art!😁👍👍

A beautiful story. make the best of where you are.

Ozvaldo's art is beautiful and his story very moving....he are the Michelangelo of wood carving : )

What a great story about a master craftsman and artist. He deserves to be much more famous than he is. So many people are becoming famous for nothing these days and this man with his extraordinary talent deserves to be recognized with the great artists of the day. I've never really understood why great wood artists never achieve the recognition of the great painters when wood sculptures can be just a beautiful as paintings and take just as much skill to produce. Congratulations to Osvaldo Orellana for leading the life of a true artist. Very inspiring to hear your story and see your amazing work!

This is absolutely insane! What Craftsmanship. I don't have words to adequately describe the awesome talent of this man. Thank you so much for sharing this. Amazing!

Uma bela e grande história de vida, parabéns Osvaldo!

Who cannot love a man who in spite of the trials and the suffering of a difficult life, still praises God even to the point of thanking God, our LORD Jesus, for those trials and for that suffering. His righteousness shines like the sun.

This is art! Too bad museums don't display more inspiring things like this.

Wow that man came a long way but at lest he had meet his match that left him to do what he liked as a child. And wow his work is beautiful way to go. And i call thus man a real artest

Qué bella historia maestro qué Dios lo bendiga y le de muchos años de vida para qué siga creando tan hermosas esculturas👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful story! Thank you for continuing to do what you love.

What incredible story of this great man.

A truly talented artist. It was great to get to know his inspiring story!

Que bella historia, felicitaciones maestro

What a wonderful story of Osvaldo`s life, and I have never seen so many fantastic carvings, of so different subjects. A heartwarming tale if ever I heard one Thank you so much for showing me and my friends this, regards from John in England.

A natural artist.

I first saw the work of this amazing man, Osvaldo Arellana, at the Los Angeles County fair. I had been told that there was an amazing wood carver there with some of his work on display. So, I was expecting something good, but what I saw there staggered me. I saw wondrous things, magnificent things, all created by a man whom I have come to believe is one of the greatest artists of our time. As I stood there in stunned silence, I couldn't believe that the wonderful things I was seeing could be the work of a mere human being. I tried later to describe his work to others, but all the puny adjectives I could muster fell far short of even coming close to doing it justice. It has to be seen to be believed, and even then it defies the imagination. And now, I'm so grateful to have discovered this documentary and learned the almost unbelievable story of how Osvaldo got his start as a wood-carving artist. I was first shocked, then delighted as the truth unfolded before my eyes. How appropriate that this truly remarkable man, this creative genius, should have such a stunning and remarkable life story behind him. Hey, Chiliano, good for you.

Felicidades eres todo un maestro, ese don no lo tiene todo el mundo, es una bendición de Dios, sigue adelante eres lo máximo, tus obras son una belleza majestuosas, un gran abrazo.

loved it..arriva chileno. saludos desde mexico..

I feel like my carvings are the equivalent to a crayon drawing magneted to a refrigerator..This man is a genius. Thank you.

Wow!! Osvaldo is truly a work of art and a wood God who passionately creates pieces that are amazing!! Yes, with a talent like his even in a Mexican prison he found humanity!! Amazing story of a wood artist of the highest caliber!! Thank God you didn't become an architect!! God Bless you!!

very inspiring. thank you for sharing your art, your skills and your life. you are so blessed Chileno

Señor Osvaldo es usted un genio, solo usted es capaz de hacer esas maravillas en madera...lo que nunca imagine que le hubiera sucedido eso en mi país (México) y que su experiencia en el reclusorio hubiera sido tan positiva y determinante en carrera, cuando empezó a relatar de se estancia en México creí que su experiencia habia sido mala...pero nunca imagine que fuera lo contrario estando en un reclusorio.

My dad made statues like Paul Bunyan,Bobs Big na ,Big boy ,Taco bell boy,Ford Mustang horse and several other iconic fiberglass statues and after he retired he carved out of wood mostly horses cowboys and Indians but his carvings were taken from my moms house in clarkston Washington when she passed 16 years ago and family is still looking for them

wow. incredible. and the colors are so realistic.

Amazing Artist! What detail !👏

Love his amazing talent.

Espectacular !! así se define este maravilloso talento, Felicitaciones a los dos !!

Blown away thanks

Magnífico documental, increíble historia de este artista chileno.

My God, what a touching story. Not easy to keep a dry eye; at 44:00" I broke down in tears, just like the man himself. What a deep and profound person he is. Only Faith can get you this far. Thank you so much for sharing. I think this moving story will touch many people. It's a lesson in humility. That's why the last image of this documentary is so important. If we believe, we can do. And carry on. God bless.

Creo que estamos ante uno de los mejores chilenos talladores de madera.

beautifull art and technic..... karya yang sangat indah, salam kenal dari Indonesia ya Pak .... Saluuuut untuk Bapak Osvaldo Orellana

How can anyone dislike this is beyond me.

Beautifull, just breath taking artwork Osvaldo, blessings

Huffff que historia tan hermosa e inspiradora.

Great video and amazing talent. I can whittle any piece of wood and make a splinter.

...Bendiciones , Compatriota ,realmente existe Un Dicho : " Solo Dios sabe porqué hace Las Cosas "....También descubrí a mi Corta Edad que tenía Talento en La Manualidad en La Madera hice Como 4-5 Tallados y Dibujos También...Los Profesores tampoco Creían que los hacía y me hacían Repetirlos en Clases algunos de Mis Dibujos los Ví Enmarcados en Las Paredes de Sus Casas,con el pasar de Los Tiempos en aquellos Años Las Autoridades no Motivaban a La Juventud a Descubrir Sus talentos Creo que Ni El Deporte de La Actualidad lo hace en Las Noticias Vemos que Atletas Costean Sus Propios Bolsillos para Ganar alguna Medalla para nuestro País de manera Casi Anónima...Un Abrazo y Bendiciones , Nuevamente...

This is a beautiful place for you to be.

Amazing work.
