Contemporary Ram's Head Bronze Sculpture Lost Wax Casting Technique Green Patina

2018

About the Item

This contemporary solid bronze sculpture of a ram's head is inspired by the art of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece with a reference to neoclassicism. The artist is able to attribute incredible details to this work of art featuring an aries with a majestic appearance due to its large horns. The animal figurative artwork is sculpted on the round and is inspired from the imagination of the artist and from archaic reminiscences. The artist has modeled the inert wax cast of the sculpture - which is the soul of the final result in bronze - creating an animal with very real facial expression and incredible realistic features with intricate detailed head. The artist is confident with his manuality and with the techniques of working with wax, clay and metal, as well as welding, soldering and shaping rigid materials, the basic skills necessary to work with bronze. His very personal technique is to manually apply each individual little piece of wax until the desired effect is achieved. The final results is a bronze sculptures that is smooth and rough at the same time. This sculpture is casted in Italy using very traditional techniques and the artist personally takes care of this process also. The noble bronze has now a green patina to simulate the natural oxidation process of metals but it's possible to polish the bronze in order to have a more brilliant golden finish as showed in the last two pictures. Each piece is unique as at each casting the artist re-models the wax cast based on the sample created in plaster. The plaster model of this aries' head is also available for sale in a lacquer matte finish or with gold or silver leaves finish. This sculpture is the perfect addition to any room, a contemporary yet classic fine artwork to be shown on a column, a table or a desk. A wunderkammer object for art lovers! This piece is immediately available, production leads time for additional pieces is 30 days circa.

He began to draw very young, at the age-child, self-taught. At the age of fourteen he began to attend the Institute of Design "Ricardo Rojas” in Buenos Aires, until the age of eighteen. He moved in 1999 to the United States, in Miami, and here is the crucial meeting for its formation, with the painter Abdon Romero, a Venezuelan painter, director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Maracaibo. In the atelier of Romero, directed together with the painter Sonia Hidalgo, Pablo Simunovic continues his artistic journey, practicing with the practice of drawing, and gains a clear and sure sign in the realization of the shapes and volumes. The artist is confident with his manuality and with the techniques of working with wax, clay and metal, as well as welding, soldering and shaping rigid materials, the basic skills necessary to work with bronze. The final results is a bronze sculptures that is smooth and rough at the same time that interprets the real movements and attitudes of the animal in an incredible way.

Currently Pablo lives and works between Florence and Pietrasanta, from painting he approached sculpture by working different materials from marble to bronze, his passion for sculpture often leads him to Pietrasanta in Tuscany, a privileged place for sculptors where he finds inspiration, materials and foundries to create his works of art.

  • Ram's Head Contemporary Plaster Sculpture with Green Patina Ancient Rome Style
    Located in Firenze, IT
    This contemporary plaster sculpture of a ram’s head is inspired by the art of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece with a reference to Neoclassicism and Neoclassical period old masters, when the discoveries of archaeological sites became the focal point in art history between the 18th and 19th century. The artist is able to attribute incredible details to this work of art featuring a majestic appearance due to its large curling ridged horns. This animal figurative work of art is sculpted on the round, the artist took inspiration both from his imagination and archaic reminiscences. He modeled the inert chalk creating an animal with very real facial expression and incredible realistic features with intricate detailed head. This sculpture is the plaster cast hand modeled by the artist that served him as a reference model to create a bronze sculpture with the lost wax technique, also the bronze version is on sale on my page. So it represents the first phase of a fascinating and long process of creating sculptural art, a studio piece made as a maquette before a bronze version was cast. The present aries' head sculpture has been painted to simulate the green patina that archaeological metal sculptures take over the centuries. Two green patina sculptures...
