Do you love classic or modern Statues?

According to Hegel, art in its highest sense has to be considered a thing of the past. But in response Gadamer replied No! “Art is more alive than ever”

The search for beauty, harmony and tension towards the perfect balance is part of the genetic imprint of artists of all time.

And when a sculptor manages to overcome the limits of matter by combining classical representation with an innovative idea … the artist can only get in touch with the soul and preferences of many people.

The Spiral Statues covered with sinuous beauty

The idea of this particular form of Roberto Piaia’s sculptures, worldwide premier, has been Copyright recognized and protected.

Built using  Carrara statuary marble, resina, and bronze casting through lost wax processes, the statues are created with the face, the hands and the feet, where the typical Piaia executional skills stand out.

This world premier innovation consists in the creation of the body: the volume structure is built around a double helix which wraps around itself; with a “full” visual effect in which the form is underlined through a coil, while the void appears suddenly, leaving room for imagination.

Ingenious Creations

This is a very difficult job, attempted by many but never actually realized, characterized by a precise study of solids and voids. Realized in a perfect balance of matter that does not need any support.

These statues employ strange perception and perspective, and seem impossible to achieve in reality, furthermore. They take us back to a strong mathematical component by the master who inspired Piaia: Dutch graphic engraver M. C. Escher, 1898-1972.

Only a great compositional experience and a deep knowledge of the subject, have allowed Roberto Piaia. After years of intense research and study, to realize his creations through drawings, sketches and oils on canvas with bodies outlined through a spiral.

The lightness of Resin

The Resin Statue offers you the right answer if your home is furnished in a contemporary style. Also, it gives a touch of modernity if you have a preference for classic or antique furniture. The exclusive form of these statues, combines designer and color.

“Normally, I create them white with a black interior to bring out the spiral play of the body. Or I paint in Assurfivo, the rainbow effect of my colors, accentuates the three-dimensionality. So, if you make this choice you get 2 works in 1: a painting + a statue“.   Roberto Piaia

How I create the Resin Statues

1. I begin to give shape to my idea with pencil sketches.
2. Then I build an iron structure to support the clay model that I am going to shape taking care of the details.
3. A rubber mold is made on the finished clay model, thus obtaining the negative of the   work.
4. Then, the resin mixed with a hardening liquid is manually poured into the molds.

What is Resin?

• Resin is a type of plastic reinforced with glass and thermosetting it hardens after processing.
• It is a material with high resistance, resists bad weather, temperature changes and does not need any special care.
• The strength of this material allows the resin statues to become precious accessories for outdoor spaces, such as terraces and gardens.
• One of its main characteristics is to be very malleable, it allows me to create any model you want.

The historicity of Bronze

Bronze for millennia has been the ideal tool with which an artist can express himself.

It enriches the style of the environment in which it is placed, and you will be the custodian of a unique work of art whose value is destined to grow over time.

It is a material that is often used for the creation of outdoor statues, because it guarantees practically infinite solidity and durability.

The classic Bronze Statues

“Every single work of art is the fulfillment of a prophecy.” Oscar Wilde

My philosophy of life is that before creating something new, one must study the basic techniques of the great masters.

For this reason my first works are in full form and inspired by Greek mythology and Dante. the great poet.

How the Bronze Statues are created

1. I begin to give shape to my idea with pencil sketches.
2. Then I build an iron structure to support the clay model that I am going to shape taking care of the details.
3. A rubber mold is made on the finished clay model, thus obtaining the negative of the   work.
4. Then, I deliver it to the artistic foundry and the plaster cast is obtained from the model.
5. The plaster cast is dismantled and divided into two or more parts. After being deprived of the clay model it contains, beeswax is poured.
6. At this point I carefully retouch the wax copy.
7. Finally, the foundry works for casting the molten metal.

The timeless charm of the Carrara Statuary Marble

If you have a marble statuary at home, it means living in a space full of harmony and elegance.

“The sculptor doesn’t try to translate his thought into marble; he thinks in marble… he thinks in marble”. André Gide

The precious Carrara marble it’s always the most coveted material by the sculptors.

It’s cold, hard, limiting, until the artist’s hands transform it making it pulsating with life, light, soft, almost impalpable…

Carving a marble Statues

For my marble sculptures is done using a traditional technique.

1. 1. I begin to give shape to my idea with pencil sketches.
   2. Then I build an iron structure to support the clay model that I am going to shape taking care of the details.
   3. A rubber mold is made on the finished clay model, thus obtaining the negative of the   work.
   4. Then, the plaster cast is obtained from the model.
