From the Studio to the Foundry

________________________________________________________

Everything begins in my studio, where I work on developing my idea. Based on my sketches, I create a resin model that refines the shapes and details of the sculpture.

Once I am satisfied with the resin model, I bring it to Fonderie Chapon. The foundry team then takes charge of creating a mold that faithfully reproduces my model, a step that can take several days or even several weeks.

After the mold is created, the foundry fills it with wax. This process, called ‘lost wax,’ is an essential step before the bronze casting.

This stage is then followed by the bronze casting, finishing touches, and patination, which reveal the full richness of the artwork.

Each artwork is custom-made in limited editions, with the entire process taking several weeks—or even months—to complete a true bronze masterpiece.
