About "West African Male Bust" artclone

The original of this artclone from the Maghreb, probably dating back to the 11th century. The sophistication of the young expressive visage is a homage to simplicity and beauty.

The broad, prominent brow, the pronounced cheekbones, the well-defined and strong nose, add to the commanding presence of the figure. The beard and the mustache are rendered with a tactile realism, suggesting a meticulous approach to capturing the subject's appearance. The head is adorned with a simple yet significant turban, providing an element of cultural identity.

This artclone deserves to become the distinctive piece in Ethnic arrangements or to stand out in an Urban Chic setting. The terracotta original has a pale glaze which suggests a strong, decisive colour for the artclone in order to exalt the virility in the face of the young African.

the artclone process

Digitization

Museums and Private Collections partner with Artficial to preserve their sculptural masterpieces in digital format. We employ state-of-the-art scanning techniques to capture every detail of the original sculpture.

Archival

The digital file is permanently stored in the Artvault, our secure and robust database which serves as a repository for the scans of the world's sculptural masterpieces. The Artvault safeguards the precious file and metadata, ensuring the longevity and accessibility of these invaluable cultural artifacts.

Sustainable Production

With the digitalclone securely in place, we proceed to the production stage. Using our advanced 3D printing technology, we craft licensed artclones that replicate the original sculptures with exceptional accuracy using our durable plant-based filament. This made-to-order solution prevents waste and delivers the finished artclone with low turnaround times.

Preservation

As a result of this patented process, the owner of the licensed artwork receives royalty payments from Artficial with each sale. This arrangement preserves and promotes the world's sculptural masterpieces and cultural heritage.
