Forged sculptures

Artistic forging, forged sculpture performed by masters of the OMI studio - it is always a work of art.

To create a forged sculpture, we use classical methods that use an anvil, various types of hammers and forges. Most often, a blacksmith uses materials such as steel, cast iron, copper, and less often brass and bronze. Forged copper sculptures are distinguished by their grace and subtlety, as well as their original red hue. Forged copper products are often used as elements of fountains, artificial ponds, and garden sculptures, since copper is a weather-resistant metal. Of course, over time it will oxidize, changing its color to green. But this will undoubtedly only give the sculpture more value and elegance.

Whereas forged steel sculptures require mandatory protective treatment or painting, because steel is very susceptible to corrosion, which literally destroys the sculpture. Steel is a less malleable metal; most often, sculptures made of steel are distinguished by an abundance of geometric shapes and technicality.  If we talk about cast iron forged sculptures, then their beauty and uniqueness – in the depth of black color, apparent massiveness and at the same time grace. Cast iron forged sculptures are little susceptible to corrosion, but require a special protective coating. Depending on what alloy the craftsmen use in their work, the price of the forged sculpture depends.
