Of all the ancient events and tales of lore, the most remembered are those that inspired artists to carve marble monuments in their honor. It is no wonder that long ago some human reflected upon a symbol of strength and first wondered how to sculpt marble. Besides marble, there are many other different processes and materials that can be used in sculpture for custom statues.

Often at first glance people will assume that only great libraries or city halls have a reason to purchase works of art such as life size bronze statues. However, the reality is nearly any property or building could benefit from such artistic adornments. Sandstone sculptures of education heroes or symbols such as books could inspire students entering institutions of learning. The colorful fiberglass statues light up people when wondering in the amusement park, marble fountain decorates personal mansion with a sense of royalty and so on. The truth is, using carved images to serve as visual reminders of achievement is as old as humanity. They serve as lasting legacies of triumph and heartache and link our lives to history.

We dedicated lives to helping clients create powerful custom sculpture in stone and metal as well as other materials. Some of our artists may prefer certain materials or methods based on factors like cost, availability, personal skill, and desired permanence. Similarly, people interested in commissioning a work of art may consider cost, aesthetics, and intended display situation. For larger or more intricate works, smaller segments may be created in a workshop first. Only later at the final display site are the pieces assembled. This art sculpture assembly process of sculpting also works best for artwork large enough to create transportation challenges. Transporting smaller pieces is much easier, safer, and cost-effective than attempting to move a huge, fully assembled masterpiece.

Another process used in sculpting is modeling. This process can be ideal for works of art created in a medium that is malleable in the beginning, but can be hardened into a finished product later. Clay, is perhaps the best example of a material used in the creation of artistic works through modeling. For more information about your custom statues, feel free to talk with us anytime.
