For bronze portraits the working method is as follows: the person to be portrayed and I have a conversation. The person portrayed is usually seated. While we are having he conversation, I work on the portrait in clay. After the first session, I take a few photos and then I continue to work further on the portrait. After that, there usually are one or two more sessions, and by exception three, of about 1.5 to 2 hours.

After the approval of the contractor, I have the portrait casted in bronze and placed on a pedestal. 

As these sessions can be a challenge for children, I generally work from photos for children’s portraits.

I takes at least three months to produce a bronze portrait.

For the production of a trophy, award or a statuette, the working method is as follows: I ask the contractor what the statuette is for and what it should radiate. After that briefing I start working on a design and after a while I send an initial sketch in wax. After a discussion with the contractor, I work out the first sketch.

Before I bring the final wax design to the bronze foundry, I send photos from the final result to the contractor. After his/her approval, I have the statute casted in bronze and placed on a pedestal. There are one-off costs for the production of a mold, which stays in my possession (copyright).
