Every Bronze Masterpiece Begins with a Soul of Clay
At YouFine, we believe the clay model is the most critical stage of creation. It is the blueprint of beauty, the first breath of life given to an idea. Meet the hands and hearts who transform raw clay into timeless art.
YouFine Difference: Perfection in Clay
Bronze immortalizes, but clay gives life
At YouFine, we believe bronze bestows eternity, while clay gives life. Therefore, the 1:1 clay model is the most crucial element in our creative process. It is the soul of the sculpture, the key point for the birth of every bronze masterpiece.
Before casting the bronze, we will present the clay model to our clients in its entirety. Our clients can offer suggestions, and until they are absolutely certain the clay model is perfect, we will then proceed with the casting. This collaborative process ensures that the final bronze statue received by our clients perfectly matches their vision.
My journey into bronze casting wasn’t a career choice, but a calling. My entire family has been involved in bronze casting for generations. I’ve watched my grandfather, father, uncles, and aunts cast bronze sculptures since I was a child. When I first stepped into YouYi Foundry after graduating from college ten years ago, I was immediately captivated—not just by the dazzling glow of molten metal, but by the artisans’ dedicated focus and the skills they’ve passed down through generations. The fragrance of the clay, the scorching heat of the furnace, the exquisite carving, and the meticulous attention to detail—it all filled me with joy.
I’m not just casting bronze sculptures; I’m growing alongside the artisans of YouFine. I immerse myself in every intricate step of the traditional lost-wax casting process. This decade has been more than a fleeting one; it’s been a journey of continuous learning, refinement of skills, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, a pursuit that has become the cornerstone of our foundry.
Aurora Li- Master of Figurative Sculpture
Meet Aurora, the artistic soul behind YouFine’s figurative masterpieces. With over twenty years of dedication, Aurora has devoted her life to the singular pursuit of “Shen Yun” – the intangible spirit and living essence that transforms a sculpture from a mere object into a piece of breathing art.
For Aurora, sculpture is a language of emotion. Her mastery lies not only in creating anatomically perfect forms but in capturing the fleeting feelings that define our humanity. She possesses a rare gift for rendering the delicate, paper-thin texture of lace, the soft cascade of individual hair strands, and the subtle expressions that tell a profound story.
Master Zheng- Lead Artist, Horse Sculpture
Meet Master Zheng, the formidable talent and Lead Artist behind YouFine’s celebrated animal sculptures. With a profound understanding of the natural world, Master Yuan possesses a unique gift for capturing the very essence of an animal’s spirit. His work is a masterful fusion of breathtaking anatomical precision and the raw, untamed energy of a creature in motion.
While his expertise spans the animal kingdom, it is in the noble art of horse sculpture that his passion truly ignites. Master Zheng doesn’t simply replicate the form of a horse; he channels its powerful life force and commanding presence into every piece. He is renowned for his ability to sculpt dynamic moments—a galloping stride, a powerful turn, or the defiant toss of a majestic mane—infusing the bronze with a palpable sense of movement and strength.
Master Wang – Lead Artist, Deer Sculpture
Introducing Master Wang, the lead artist and visionary force behind our magnificent deer sculptures. We see him applying the finishing touches to a life-sized moose clay model, a testament to his dedication and skill. Master Wang is a celebrated figure in the world of animal sculpture, revered for his profound ability to capture both the precise anatomical structure and the untamed spirit of wildlife.
While his expertise is broad, his true passion lies in the realm of deer sculpture. Whether crafting a graceful doe or a formidable moose, he possesses an unparalleled talent for breathing life and a powerful aura into his creations. His work is defined by its dynamic energy and strength, capturing a fleeting, powerful moment in the wild and immortalizing it in bronze. Each piece by Master Wang is not merely a statue, but a tribute to the majestic power and presence of the animal kingdom.
The true heart of YouFine lies in the collective wisdom of our entire artistic team—we have numerous sculptors specializing in diverse fields. Under the visionary leadership of our founder, Grandpa Dora, our foundry has nurtured a vibrant team of clay model artists, each contributing their unique expertise.
This diversity is our greatest strength. Some of our artists possess an extraordinary talent for capturing human emotion in custom figure sculptures, while others are adept at the timeless forms of classic figures. We have visionaries pushing boundaries through abstract art, and experts bringing natural life to life with stunningly realistic sculptures of wild and marine animals.
Collaboration is at the heart of our creative process. Under the guidance of our lead artist, the entire team works together, meticulously scrutinizing every detail of each piece. This ensures that every sculpture, regardless of style or subject matter, meets YouFine’s standards of excellence. More importantly, our studio is a cradle for the next generation of masters. Young and passionate artists learn and grow alongside experienced masters, ensuring that YouFine’s unparalleled craftsmanship and artistic spirit are not only preserved but also passed down through generations, ensuring its continued prosperity.
