I express myself in sculpture since I am not a poet.
Aristide Maillol.Sculptor. |

Classical sculpture summarises hundreds of years of knowledge in sculpture, anatomy and dramatic effects. A good replication of classical Greco-Roman models is the most suitable compliment to the formation of stone masons and conservators with an appropriate technical background. |

ROMAN SCULPTURE: Roman sculpture
Our first big job: a real test. The replica of an iconic sculpture located in one of the popular Palma de Mallorca and busiest roads. In view of all the theoretical and white munto possible criticism.
In the long time between the destruction of the original and complex administrative resolution of the case finding the right stone in the quarry was added.Finally, months of painstaking carving. All local media were pending issue included a popular local TV presenter, who stood, dressed in Roman one day a week to remind the City Council that the city hoped to recover "his Roman" ... Finally, as always, once installed, everything is forgotten: the Roman stopped being news and starts being a silent witness to the city bustle again from its pedestal. Old and new at atime, only a discreet inscription "Artifexbalear me fecit.MMVII" betrays its newcomer status to the city. See more... |
