Gerhard Stelzhammer is born in Graz and since 2009 he lives and works on the island of Crete in Paleochora. His creations are marble, alabasta or as of late, wood. As an artist it was his dream to present art in nature and so he realized this in 2012 with his Sculpture Garden in Kondoura. In 2012 he created a sculpture garden in Kondoura. After moving to Anidri in 2017 he will officially open a new sculpture garden in the beginning of June 2018. Under old olive trees you will see his sculptures in a more nicer atmosphere. He offers also workshops for wood or stone.
