Sculpting from life. Several sittings over a minimum of four days are needed to create a bust in clay. Calyxte always works from life positioning his clay head next to the subject capturing the essence of his sitter.

After final refinements to the clay bust, Calyxte creates a silicon mould and brings to the foundry. Liquid is poured into the mould to create a wax bust. Calyxte perfects the wax version before the wax is transformed into the bronze, using the lost wax process.

Working on the bronze and creating the patina.
