Laszlo Sandor marquetry artist who was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1975.

”Wood Arts was born out of my love of marquetry, which I have inherited from my father. I think it's sad, that quality wood products are becoming increasingly rare in our everyday life, a trend that may spell the end of this historical craft. My goal is to revitalize and popularize marquetry as an artform, perhaps reintroducing it to our households once more.

Nowadays, the used custom wood inlays equal to TRUE LUXURY. This technique was the privilege of the nobles in the Pharaonic era, and in the time of the Renaissance they could have been the few who paid for the painstaking and meticulous workmanship and the unrepeatable end result of the masterpieces. Each picture is made even more personal by how these materials react to the flow of time. The final pieces of art possesses an unique handcrafted quality that is unachievable by any other means. With the natural colour of exotic woods, images become an integral part of every home.

With great care and the usage of carefully selected, quality materials, the end result is a unique, personal piece of wood art. This unique full handmade art technique requires a great investment of time. The artwork is created through many steps using raw materials and special tools. While the wood panels are hard, during the process of making they are prone to crack, bending only to the patience of a well trained craftsman.

The special textures found in the exotic raw materials contribute a lot to the unique style. Thanks to the extraordinarily demanding workmanship and the unique shading technique, I have achieved many successes in recent years and my pictures are getting more and more places in the world. I try to look for new areas of use and to keep on renewing.”

Marquetry White Rose

Laszlo Sandor marquetry artist created an unique inlay image of white rose. The meaning of shimmering white roses is not very hard to decipher if you go by their appearance. The colour white has always been synonymous with purity and virtue. And so, sincerity, purity, and chastity are some of the obvious meanings of a white rose. When you need to convince that your affections are straight from the heart and are as pure as virgin snow, use a white rose. But there are more hidden meanings in a white rose than meets the eye.

White has ever been a symbol of innocence, of a world unspoiled and untarnished. The meaning of a bunch of glowing white roses is innocence and spiritual love. The white rose glorifies a love that is unaware of the temptations of the flesh and resides only in the soul. As opposed to the red rose that speaks of passionate promises, the meaning of a white rose is in its simplicity and pristine purity.

Sometimes called "the flower of light", one of the meanings of white roses is everlasting love - love stronger than death, an eternal love, undying and all sustaining. White rose speaks of a love that is sustained more by loyalty, reverence and humility than by red-blooded passion. So, in its capacity to worship someone till death, the meaning of a white rose is unchanging loyalty that endures beyond all else.

The white rose is the queen of the bridal bouquet. Here, the meaning of a white rose is something different altogether. A virgin carrying the white roses seeks to assure her loved one of her purity and innocence. Untarnished and untainted - the white rose is the bride on her wedding day. In the "language of the flowers" the meaning of white roses is "I am worthy of you". The meaning of the white rose will not be lost on a groom when he sees his bride's eyes filled with unchanging love and loyalty, a promise to stand by him through all.

The most famous meanings of the white rose arise from mythology. Many of these surround Aphrodite (Venus) as Goddess of love. She sprang forth into life from the foaming sea, and where the foam fell to the ground, white roses grew.

This and later myths about Aphrodite display the dual nature of love: purity and innocence represented by white roses; desire and sexual gratification by red ones. In one story she runs to help her wounded lover Adonis and catches her flesh on the thorns of the white rose bush. Her blood falling on the bush turns the roses red, symbolizing the way innocence and purity change to experience and motherhood.

Marquetry Red Rose

Laszlo Sandor marquetry artist created an unique inlay image of red rose. The most obvious and well known meaning of the red rose is deep love and affection. In the 18th century, a special rose language evolved as a means of communication between lovers who were forced by society to keep their feelings a secret. And the red rose came to symbolize true love that would stand the test of time. Staunchly promising affection that is forever riding high is what the red rose means. The red rose denotes a true love that is stronger than thorns and can outlive all obstacles.

Desire is another facet of the red rose. The red rose expresses the throbbing heat of new love, a passionate expression of attraction. Red is the colour of consummation, of raging desires and craving passion. The meaning of the red rose then is quite apparent from its colour itself. Red rose speaks of love that awaits a passionate expression.

In addition to beauty and passion, red roses also symbolize courage. The red rose is also a symbol of power, as represented in the War of the Roses. Red roses seek to congratulate a job well done, and to express respect and appreciation. The red rose celebrates the creative spirit of love.

Red roses also have a different kind of meaning within marriage. Red roses express domestic bliss that is at once passionate as well as abiding. A love that is growing in strength, away from monotony and still fresh is what the red rose portrays.
