The proportionally embellished mother is representational of Botero's exaggeration of form. The beholder can be immediately drawn to the round and plump shape of the sculpture enough to want to run a hand over the surfaces. This is a great work or art for anyone who is a Botero enthusiast. She is a captured a lot larger than both her infant who sits on her strong arm and her husband who she is standing on top of. The structure represents a feminine portrayal with the differences in size between pieces. They were captured using the age-old method of lost wax casting and stained with a brown patina finish for perpetuation. The bronze sculpture is mounted upon a black marble base with the artist Botero's signature.

FAQ's

What material are your sculptures made out of?

All of our sculptures are made from100% hot cast bronze, and handmade in the ancient lost wax casting method. We never sell cheap cold cast sculptures or resins!

What is the difference between hot cast and cold cast bronzes?

Hot cast bronze is created by pouring a molten metal mixture into a mold.  Before the metal can be poured, our artists must first create the mold on a medium such as clay, rubber, or wood.  Each mold allows for a limited number of pours, and therefore a limited amount of sculptures can be created in any given round of production before the mold is destroyed and the artist must create a new mold.

Cold cast is actually made from resins and plastics which are painted over. They are cheaper, lighter, and less durable.

Generally speaking, hot cast bronzes are very time consuming and limited in their production, whereas cold cast resins can be mass produced and are inexpensive to create.

Do you do custom work?

Custom work is available in some cases.  Please contact us with the details of the job.

Can I sell you one of my own pieces?
