Artists bring life to metal sculptures by masterfully integrating human and animal figures through a blend of creativity and technical skill. One common method is welding, where metal pieces are fused to form intricate shapes, allowing for dynamic poses and expressive details. Another technique is casting, particularly in bronze, which captures fine textures and anatomical precision. Some sculptors use repoussé, hammering metal sheets to create raised reliefs of figures, while others combine mixed media, such as adding glass or stone for contrast. The choice of metal—whether steel, copper, or aluminum—also influences the final effect, offering durability or malleability. By experimenting with these methods, artists transform rigid materials into fluid, emotive representations of life.
