First Meeting

During a first meeting with you and your child(ren), you see some examples of portraits, choose from patina samples and clarify exactly what you want. This is also an opportunity for me to meet your child(ren).


Sculpture Session

“Capturing” your Child(ren), a Combination of Photographs and Sittings with your Child(ren)
Kids do not need to “sit” as such for the live sessions. It is usually transformed into play time. This can be in your home or in the artist’s country house near Rome. Usually four to six sessions suffice. Children are generally more at ease when having fun making their own sculpture! The artist then finalizes the work from photos in her studio.

Client’s “Go-ahead”

Once you are satisfied with the sculpture, the artist then proceeds with the mould-making and casting phase.


Mould-making and Casting

Your sculpture then gets cast in your chosen material. Finally, it is then given the  patina of your choice.
"And Voilà", your work of art is ready!
