It is sculpted out of a block of marble.
Nobody carved any marble in the Sistine Capel. Michelangelo PAINTED that ceiling. Michelangelo carved marble at other places to make sculptures as David and Moses.
There is no carved marble in the Sistine, but there is fresco painting by Michelangelo. Michelangelo did work in marble when he did the Pieta that is in St. Peter's and David located in Florence. Michelangelo once stated that when he carved marble that " the figure was all ready in the marble and all he did was free it".
