    At first glance, these small sculptures of charming birds, elegant floral arrangements, and swimming goldfish look like they were carved from stone. But upon closer inspection, youll discover that Daniele Barresis sculptures are not made of stone at all – theyre made of soap!

    For Barresi, sculpting has been a lifelong passion since he was seven years old. “When I touch my knife, my soul gives up my heart, and it goes directly to my hands, giving shape to decorations in different forms,” he talks about his craft. “Its like magic.” As if his meticulously crafted soap sculptures werent enough to make him a champion in his own right, Barresi is also the world champion in fruit and vegetable sculpture! Recently, he won the award at the New Taipei City Fruit Sculpture Competition and International Art Exchange event in Taiwan.

    Aside from simply carving beautiful objects, Barresi makes it clear that his art is not just a profession, but a freedom. “When I create a new sculpture, I always try to convey passion,” he says, “because for me, every cut is a form of freedom, its an art form.” Barresi is currently working in Sydney, Australia (turning soap and pumpkins into adorable sculptures), where he can attend parties and book events.

    For those seeking more fantasy soap carving, you can follow Barresi on Instagram, where he posts detailed photos after showcasing his intricate designs in photos. In some cases, he shares quick Instagram videos that showcase his techniques. There, you can watch tutorials and follow your own path to becoming a soap carving professional.
