Our research is dedicated to the study of the various aspects of the activity of one of the greatest and most talented folk craftsmen of Maramureș. In the beginning, I focused on the data on the place of origin, emphasizing the characteristics and traditions of the place, especially wood processing. I then referred to the craftsman's family and the role his grandfather Gavrilă Hotico Herenta-Vâju played in introducing him to the secrets of woodworking. The investigation part highlights the areas of his activity: that of wooden monument restorer, representing the stage of his youth. Then we focused on the particularly rich and sustainable activity dedicated to the transfer of objects and monuments from the households of the villages where they were built within the exterior sections of the museums from, Cluj, Sighetu Marmatiei and Bucharest. The last part of the study is reserved for the craftsman's activity in the field of artistic woodworking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
