A Fusion of Art and Heritage
Handcrafted Copper Reliefs
001
Our handcrafted copper reliefs are a true expression of artistry and tradition, deeply rooted in Bosnian-Herzegovinian cultural heritage. Each piece is meticulously created using age-old techniques, where a simple hammer and a few basic tools come together to transform copper into a masterpiece.
We take pride in our process, focusing on achieving a rich, deep texture that sets our reliefs apart. Through a series of 5-6 cycles of heating, the copper is carefully shaped to bring out intricate details and depth. The final stages involve patination and polishing to achieve the perfect color and contrast, followed by varnishing to protect and preserve the artwork.
The result is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece that not only showcases the beauty of copper but also reflects the skill, dedication, and passion of our artisans.
