Christ of the Abyss 100 cm for OUTDOORS.
Precious bronze statue placed at a depth of 15 m on the backdrop of the bay of San Fruttuoso, within the Marine Protected Area of Portofino.Sculpture realized through the lost wax casting, a technique that consists in molding a terracotta sculpture in wax and covering it with a thin layer of clay and refractory earth. When this form is put into the baking oven, the wax melts and comes out of openings designed for this purpose. In the empty space left by the wax, molten bronze is poured, which fills it completely, taking its shape. After the bronze has cooled, it is freed from the outer layer of clay and is finally subjected to finishing processes, elimination of metal smears, smoothing and polishing.The bronze statue can be exhibited both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor Jesus statue is colored with paints that allow it to resist even outside. Bronze, being a living material, over the years (if exposed to the outside) tends to become dark: this characteristic represents the beauty of bronze and gives it a beautiful look with time.
