On commission, I realize projects, sketches,models, engravings and much more. I specialize in the design and production of coins, medals and gold ingots for minting. The design process follows various steps, in which the client may fully supervise and participate.
It begins with the drafting of ideas and exploration of the client’s objectives. Following this important phase, I develop the initial idea through preliminary sketches to assist the client decide upon their preferences, or to consider alternatives, in order to settle upon a design which best represents the product.
Once the two-dimensional phase of the project is completed, I create a three-dimensional model through the artistic and manual process of modeling with plasticine, ending with a refined model in plaster.
In my experience, this is a mutually enjoyable and beneficial way to proceed.
See my portfolio for examples of my work.
I am skilled in various techniques: different forms of modeling, every aspect of bas-relief – from engraving to create bas-relief, to engraving metal plates (copper) with images for printing , as well as other techniques related to the tradition of coin and stamp production.
