Face sculptures in metal lace
I offer you a zoom on my sculptures representing faces.
I create these face-shaped sculptures by creating a model, which allows me to draw the imprint in a sand mold, then melt the metal to deposit it drop by drop to create my metal lace.
I mainly use steel (the black parts) and bronze (the brown parts). The golden parts are made of brass.
For the sculpture “La Douce” or “shadow actor”, I added a glass part to my steel lace.
Depending on my inspiration, I give quite different expressions to my faces. I can fix them directly on a base, or hang them on a metal lace veil, or put them on metal drop rods, or continue them with a shoulder, or hold them to a musical instrument (I I completed an order where the client wanted a sculpture linked to his saxophone).
The shape of the face also varies, I go from more classic shapes to shapes more oriented towards outsider art.
Below I offer you a small overview of my achievements.
All my sculptures are unique pieces.

I am interested in a sculpture of my own face (Head). Natural size. Would you be interested in making it.?
Otherwise do you know of an artist that may be interested in doing it?
