Customer reviews
Sehr schöne Skulptur, die reibungslos und perfekt verpackt geliefert wurde.
Dem Brautpaar hat diese Skulptur sehr gut gefallen.
Was soll ich da sagen? Ich bin absoluter Fan von Kerstin Starks Skulpturen und freue mich sehr, nun auch diese in meiner Wohnung zu haben!
Eine wirklich schöne Figur als Symbol der Familie... Wertig und einfach schön
Ausdrucksvolle Figur, lediglich die spitzen Armenden der Kinder sind etwas unästhetisch.
'Due Piccolini' habe ich als Geschenk erworben, und zwar für ein Ehepaar, das bald Zwillinge erwartet. Noch ist die wunderschöne Skulptur in meinem Bestz, da die Kinder noch nicht da sind. Ich bin wirklich begeistert und freue mich, ein so schönes und passendes Geschenk gefunden zu haben.
Die Skulptur war ein Geschenk und die Empfängerin war glücklich.
Die Skulptur ist wunderschön, und sie ist handwerklich wirklich gut gearbeitet.
Sehr schnelle Lieferung und alles in bester Ordnung. Vielen Dank.
About Kerstin Stark
1971-2017
Messages of everyday life that are lovingly put in a nutshell. The trained goldsmith Kerstin Stark used targeted contrasts to give her table sculptures a special expressiveness.
Her figurines, sculptures and jewellery objects are ideal gifts for special occasions. They are bearers of tender messages, stimulus and motivation for special life situations.
An alloy of copper with other metals (especially with tin) used since ancient times.
When casting bronze, the artist usually applies the lost-wax technique which is dating back more than 5000 years. It's the best, but also the most complex method of producing sculptures.
First, the artist forms a model of his sculpture. It is embedded in a liquid silicone rubber mass. Once the material has solidified, the model is cut out. The liquid wax is poured into the negative mould. After cooling down, the wax cast is removed from the mould, provided with sprues and dipped into ceramic mass. The ceramic mass is hardened in a kiln, whereby the wax flows out (lost mould).
Now we finally have the negative form, into which the 1400° C hot molten bronze is poured. After the bronze had cooled down, the ceramic shell is broken off and the sculpture is revealed.
Now the sprues are removed, the surfaces are polished, patinated and numbered by the artist himself or, to his specifications, by a specialist. Thus, each casting becomes an original work.
For lower-quality bronze castings, the sand casting method is often used which, however, does not achieve the results of a more complex lost-wax technique in terms of surface characteristics and quality.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
