3D Figures

The Creation of 3D‑Printed Sculptures

The journey began with a simple yet ambitious idea: to create small 3D statuettes that could later be cast in bronze. The vision was to unite modern technology with a classical, almost primeval expression, where the digital meets the heavy, timeless metal alloy.

The choice quickly fell on the Venus of Willendorf, the iconic fertility figure that became the focal point of the first experiments. The shape, proportions, and particular weight of the figure made it ideal for exploring how 3D modeling and 3D printing can recreate and interpret historical sculptures in a contemporary medium.

Along the way, a series of spontaneous and playful ideas emerged. Small variations in form, surface, and size became new works in their own right, where mistakes, coincidences, and curiosity were allowed to guide the development. Each adjustment to the digital model opened up new possibilities, and the 3D printer’s layer‑by‑layer construction created room for experiments with structure and expression.

These fun and unexpected ideas have helped shape a universe of sculptures, where the original idea of bronze casting is still present, but is now accompanied by a freer, more playful approach to both material and form. The result is a series of 3D‑printed works that both pay tribute to the past and explore the sculptural possibilities of the future.
