Traditional Sculpture

Traditional sculpture is the art of creating three-dimensional forms by shaping materials such as stone, clay, metal, or wood. Artists carve, carve away, or mold these materials to realize their creative vision, often emphasizing realism or idealized forms. Techniques include carving, modeling, and casting, allowing for detailed and durable representations of figures, objects, or abstract concepts. Historically rooted, traditional sculpture has played a significant role in cultural expression, religious devotion, and public monuments. It combines craftsmanship with artistic expression, resulting in tangible works that can be admired from multiple angles and have lasting cultural significance.
