Val Jelobinski Sculpture Studio

Val Jelobinski Sculpture Studio.

Here you can order a portrait of your loved once or even of yourself. You would need to provide a photograph or preferably a few. Sculpture could be created in a traditional realistic style, well detailed with correct anatomy features and you decide if it is looking alike before you make a final payment, or in a more modern way with any other style. Sculpture could be done as a bust, head on stand, or even a full figure. Can also be a bas-relief.

Price most certainly depends on number of things, such as material, size, style, finish.

The life size bust made out of plaster of Paris (stained or not) would cost AU$1500. To make it out of Terracotta or white stoneware (stoneware will look very much like Carrara marble) would cost extra AU500.

Marble or Bronze are a lot more expensive work and it has to be negotiated prior to ordering.

All portraits are created in clay first and then transferred into plaster when they are finely finished. If needs to be made out of terracotta has to go through moulding process again and then firing. It's a many stage complicated job and it takes at least 2-3 weeks before it could be shown to you and 1-2 weeks to be finished after that.

Here are some examples of previously created portraits.

Also this is the place where any sculpture can be created using your own pictures, ideas or even a small version of sculpture that could be turned into a full size statue, bas-relief. It can be done out of variety of different materials from Plaster of Paris or Terracotta to Bronze or Stone.

All work is done at my Marrickville Studio in Sydney.

Sculptures could be created practically of any size. Also can be done as stage props using very light materials.

Price would certainly depend on complexity of the sculpture itself, material, size & finish.

Please don't hesitate to ask for more details.
