Nicudemos began carving in the 1930s, but stopped for a number of years while earning a living as a carpenter. He returned to carving in the mid-1950s and in the succeeding decade produced several versions of Saint George and the Dragon, as well as renditions of Michael the Archangel and the Dragon, and Adam and Eve in the Garden.
