A few moments with Gert.

These action shots capture more than just action, they capture the passion, precision and creativity that goes into bringing each piece to life.

"Bust III" by Talitha Deetlefs , finished in silver nitrate.
A cool, dark silver worked across the whole form by hand. The kind of finish that shifts as the light moves around it.

Meet "The Return" and the blue we built for her.
This finish doesn't exist in a catalogue. Olivia wanted a blue that moved the way water does - deep, alive, with light shifting across the surface. We developed the patina specifically for this sculpture: layered chemistry, open flame, and enough iterations to get it exactly right.
The result is a custom colour that lives in the bronze itself. Not paint. Not coating. A chemical reaction, locked into the metal permanently.

A finished surface should feel inevitable.

This green patina was built in layers - deepened, softened, and sealed to hold its character over time.

Every sculpture demands a slightly different approach. Temperature, application method, and timing all influence the final tone.

New commissions and restoration work are approached with the same care.
