Customized sculptures
Custom order - Peony flowers, Italy
Title: "Peony flowers"
Created for a private client who wanted to surprise his beloved girlfriend with a very special 100% chocolate gift, not coloured - just naturally flavoured with freeze-dried Raspberry powder and different shades of pinkish tones!
The artwork was produced in Switzerland, and then brought to Paris, the city of love. Even the heat of July could not harm this sweet surprise, as it was transported in an insulated box for protection!
What an exquisite, unique and custom-made artwork!
Custom order - La Sagrada familia (Barcelona), produced in Germany
Title: "La Sagrada Familia" (Barcelona)
Produced for a private client who gave the cathedral as a gift to his lawyer for winning his case. The lawyer donated the artwork then to a children orphanage in Germany. The story of this very special donation made it even to the local newspapers and brought many smiles and joy to the children there.
What a sweet surprise for the children !
