Title: Hello from Spain
Post by: ESole on May 22, 2021, 05:42:25 AM: I am Solé, a sculptor and lover of classical music and opera. I want to show you the collection of figures "Opera Composers". I would like to know your opinion. I am also modeling the collection of classical music composers Vivaldi, J.S. Bach, Beethoven, etc. And another collection of virtuoso musicians / composers playing their instrument, Paganini, Vivaldi, etc.
Top 10 best opera composers of all time

Post by: André on May 22, 2021, 03:05:59 PM: I’m impressed. You capture the figures and attitudes of your models with great realism. I especially liked Monteverdi, Rossini, Gluck, Handel, Britten and Puccini. I must say I wouldn’t have recognized Mozart instantly though :).

Great idea to picture them from different angles (Benvenuto Cellini would have approved !) and to feature their music, of course !

Suggestion: make the display run for a little longer, with more music and longer shots ?

Lithograh from Nissen’s Biography. Mozart's left ear. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Oreja_de_Mozart.jpg

I have been guided by reading: Physical appearance and personality of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.https://second.wiki/wiki/aspecto_fc3adsico_y_personalidad_de_wolfgang_amadeus_mozart (https://second.wiki/wiki/aspecto_fc3adsico_y_personalidad_de_wolfgang_amadeus_mozart)

I have performed my interpretation, no portrait resembles each other.
Thank you very much, André. I appreciate that.

Post by: Iota on May 23, 2021, 08:04:05 AM: Bravo, those are excellent, Solé! Is that Jaroussky (but not Nura Rial?) in Monteverdi's Pur ti miro? Sounds lovely! Fwiw, I also think it'd be great if the shots/music clips were a little longer.

Bienvenido to the forum! :)

I ask for help in creating typical operatic characters, such as the Papageno I have already modeled.

I still do not have them for sale, I am reviewing the opinions of potential clients and the limitation of the series, between 200 or 300 copies, the price? Well, I still don't know.

Very nice. What size are your statues ?

Post by: ESole on May 25, 2021, 06:32:05 PM: Thank you.

Created using 3D modeling software with the style of clay, the size is 1:1 but I print them to scale 1/10.
