Petra explains: "In about half of my commissions, the client often becomes the model for the work. There are many reasons why someone might request a personal sculpture. Some women, for example, are facing breast cancer and wish to immortalize their body before undergoing a mastectomy. Others, both women and men, want to mark or celebrate a specific period in their lives by having a sculpture made of themselves. Sometimes, the modeling process can even have a therapeutic effect: it's the ultimate act of self-acceptance. I always say, "Uncover your inner Aphrodite, and let me sculpt you into a timeless masterpiece—so you can admire your true beauty with pride".
Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and true beauty doesn't lie in perfection but in the imperfections that make us unique. Accept yourself, and your body. If you choose to commission a personal sculpture, I would be honored to create it for you.
Together, we embark on a creative journey to design an artwork that is as unique as you are—a true reflection of your inner strength and beauty. In our collaboration, we not only craft a personalized sculpture but also celebrate your individuality, turning your vision into a tangible work of art. Once we've settled on the perfect design, we begin the meticulous process of creating the mold, where every detail is infused with care and purpose. Depending on the chosen composition and materials, the entire process—from initial design to the final creation of the basic mold—typically takes between 2 to 5 hours. This experience is more than art-making; it's a transformative moment that builds self-confidence and honors your authentic self.
To capture your unique story and create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, sometimes you must push beyond your comfort zone. Only then can we weave magic that transforms your vision into a timeless work of art.We will discuss your wishes in detail beforehand, and I am dedicated to bringing out the very best in you. Discovering and immortalizing your inner beauty is a truly special process—and I would be honored to guide you on this journey. Please feel safe and free to express yourself; it is in that space that the most extraordinary creations come to life.
A personal sculpture is far more than a small, non-detailed 3D-printed model. The artistry, labor, and heartfelt craftsmanship that go into each piece are incomparable. That is why I remain steadfast in my commitment to classical sculpting techniques, never surrendering to modern technology as a substitute. I take great pride in using time-honored methods to shape the body, creating sculptures that last a lifetime, crafted with pure passion and love in my atelier.
