Wax Sculpture for Sale
During the Renaissance, wax sculptures were popular as ex-votos, religious offerings that were placed in churches and chapels to give thanks for answered prayers. As a medium, wax is particularly useful to recreate the effect of human flesh. As a result, it was widely used in portraiture, and wax busts are eerily lifelike. Today, even though new media and techniques have been developed for that purpose, wax is still a much appreciated medium. Thanks to its soft texture and ability to effectively take on the most vivid of colours, it occupies a special place in the studios of numerous sculptors. Whether you are looking for figurative or abstract sculpture, coloured or natural, you are sure to find your pick in our selection of wax sculptures

How do you make a wax sculpture?
To make a wax sculpture, start by creating a wire armature to support the wax. Then, melt the wax and pour it into the mold. Once the wax has cooled, use sculpting tools to shape and refine the sculpture. Finally, add finishing touches and a protective coating.
What are the benefits of using wax as a sculpting material?
Wax is a versatile sculpting material that offers several benefits. It is easy to work with, can be molded and shaped easily, and can be used to create intricate details. Additionally, wax sculptures are durable and can withstand the test of time. Wax also allows for a range of finishes, from matte to glossy, making it a popular choice for artists.
How do you maintain and preserve a wax sculpture?
To maintain and preserve a wax sculpture, keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Dust it regularly with a soft cloth and avoid touching it with bare hands. If the sculpture becomes dirty, use a mild soap and water solution to clean it. Apply a thin layer of wax polish to protect it from moisture and dust.
