Ada Lovelace

• I start a research on the character, read the biography and search all the information and images available on the web.
• That’s when I start to get involved, reflect and get familiar with the character.

• That’s when I start putting on “clay” paper the ideas and every detail of the character. The pose and attitude of the model is the basic part of the statue, I look for the best composition that reproduces and eternalizes our character. Model one or more sketches with Chavant Fine Art. Sculpting Clay.

Ideas born with clay!

• Thanks to the new technologies of digital modeling and their knowledge, I can mold and express myself with 3D in the same way as when I do it with clay.
• I use the most modern programs on the market, I start to mold in 3D the sketch made previously molded with Chavant clay.
• In 3D modeling I reproduce one of the most difficult things to achieve in the digital world, the look and feel of real clay sculptures. I flee from hyperrealism, I want to leave my print, my line, my personal style.

• I have located only two portraits of Emily Dickinson: 'Amherst' and that of Emily Dickinson and Kate Scott Turner of 1859, I have been guided by the recently discovered daguerreotype, showing her as a mature woman displaying a striking presence, strength and serenity, rather than as a teenager.

• For Emily Dickinson's dress I have taken as a reference the portrait of 'Amherst'.

• Before finishing the statue, I make a rendering of the prototype and a graphic representation, to see how it would look in reality, then that is when I make the final modeling touches.

• Thanks to technology, today it is possible to print sculptures made in 3D with high quality resin. With SLA printers designed for use by artists.
• What do you think Leonardo da Vinci, the Van Eyck brothers, the Impressionist painters and the vast majority of artists would do? advance, evolve!

• All statues are painted with the highest quality Royal Talens Rembrandt acrylic color paints and brush.

• If the statues are not exhibited, displayed, and disseminated, what is the point of all this work?
• I want my work to be known and, taking advantage of the rendering, I make the relevant photos and videos to insert on the website and edit the creative spots of each character.
• All these statues, in short, are the maquettes of the statues that I would like to mold in real size 1:1 with clay and then cast them in bronze.
