About
Dumitru Pop Tincu is a folk craftsman who laughs at death. He carries on the craft of Stan Ioan Pătraș (sculptor, painter and poet), who laid the foundations of the Merry Cemetery in Săpânța.
The Maramureș craftsman carves crosses in oak wood, using the famous "Săpânța blue" painting - the funerary monuments in the Merry Cemetery.
He also writes the epitaphs on the crosses, drawing inspiration from the lives of the dead, after thorough documentation.
As a sign of gratitude for the promotion of the culture and crafts of Maramureș, the Maramureș County Council awarded the folk craftsman Dumitru Pop Tincu the honorary title of "Ambassador of Maramureș Tourism".
