Sculpture of
Prime Minister
Abiy Ahmed
A 4-meter monumental bronze portrait for a government public square in Ethiopia — crafted through close collaboration with a renowned Ethiopian artist.
A Monument of Respect
and National Pride
The person who commissioned us to make the sculpture of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was a famous Ethiopian artist. He came to us with respect for the Prime Minister and the trust of the people. The sculpture of Abiy Ahmed is 4 meters high and is a government public project.
The artist was very strict about the details of the clay model and the layering of the patina. During the process of making the clay model, the artist came to our factory twice to jointly create a delicate and realistic clay model. During the cooperation process, we enhanced our friendship with each other, and our skills were highly recognized by the artist. He believed that we are now very skilled and efficient.
At present, this large sculpture of a famous politician has been completed and transported to the installation site. We are eagerly looking forward to the grand unveiling ceremony and will update feedback photos in the project in a timely manner.

How We Fulfill Every Detail
We provide customers with high-quality, large-scale, famous figure bronze sculptures. During the casting process, we provide customized services and establish close cooperative relationships with every client.
Customization of Real-Person Photos
When the artist told us that he wanted to make a sculpture of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, our artists found a large number of real-life photos and videos, striving to restore the appearance of the figure 100%. Every facial feature, posture, and expression was studied meticulously to ensure the highest level of likeness.

Collaborative Clay Model Creation
The artist had very strict requirements for the details of the clay model. During the process of modifying the clay model, the artist came to the factory twice to have in-depth discussions and cooperation with our artists, continuously adjusting the details of the Prime Minister's face until the real appearance of the character was reflected.

Patina with a Sense of Hierarchy
The artist asked us to make the patina reflect the layers of different body parts and clothes. Whether it is facial expression or clothes, the color should be emphasized. Our artist is very good at color matching, and the client is very satisfied with our overall effect.

Traditional Lost-Wax Method
Our factory uses the traditional lost wax method to cast bronze sculptures. First, our factory artists collaborated to create a clay model, which was constantly modified to be very similar to the Prime Minister's appearance. Then, we used silicone molds to reproduce the Prime Minister's face and the details of his clothes.
