Custom Sculptures by Marta Steel

Commission a custom sculpture tailored to your vision. Learn about the commissioning process and explore past works created for private collectors, businesses, and public spaces.

I am always open to creating custom sculptures that bring unique visions to life. Whether you're looking for a statement piece for your home, a public art installation, or a meaningful sculpture to commemorate an event, I welcome the opportunity to collaborate and bring your ideas into physical form. Each commission is an exciting journey that allows me to work closely with you to ensure the piece reflects your vision and resonates with its intended space.

I have experience working on a variety of commissioned pieces, including:

  • Private Sculptures: Custom works for homes, offices, and private collections.
  • Public Art Installations: Large-scale sculptures designed for public spaces, designed to engage and inspire communities.
  • Corporate Commissions: Sculptures that reflect a company’s values, culture, or vision, often displayed in offices or lobbies.
  • Memorials and Tributes: Personalized sculptures created to honor individuals, moments, or milestones.

Process

Creating a commissioned sculpture is a collaborative and thoughtful process. Here is an outline of the steps involved in commissioning a piece from me:

  1. Consultation
    We begin with a meeting (either in person or virtually) to discuss your ideas, the purpose of the sculpture, and any specific requirements or preferences you have. During this phase, I gather important information, such as the intended space, size, materials, and overall theme. I may also ask for inspiration, photos, or any reference material that can help guide the process.
  2. Concept Design
    Based on our consultation, I will create initial sketches and design concepts. These sketches will give you an idea of how the sculpture might look in your space and allow us to refine the direction. During this phase, we can adjust size, proportions, and materials to ensure the piece is perfect for you.
  3. Approval and Agreement
    Once we have agreed on the design, I will provide a detailed quote, including the price, timeline, and materials. A formal agreement will be signed, outlining the scope of the project, payment schedule, and other details. At this point, we finalize the logistics, including the installation process, if needed.
  4. Creation
    With the design approved, I will begin the creation process. This phase involves sculpting, molding, casting, and finishing the piece, depending on the materials chosen. I will keep you updated on the progress and may send you images during the process to ensure everything is on track.
  5. Delivery and Installation
    Once the sculpture is complete, I will coordinate delivery and installation. If the sculpture is large or requires specialized equipment, I will arrange for professional installers. My team and I ensure that the installation process is smooth and that the piece is positioned exactly as envisioned.
