Faust Bronze Dust Medieval Fantasy Collector Statue

Our company, Idyllis, already had a reputation for its gifts and decorative household items, as well as for its collectors dolls, but Christine and I are very proud to present an entirely new collection; called "Bronze Dust", it comprises a series of statuettes, each of which represents a character from the phantasmagorical world. To create the collection, we called upon the imaginations of four painters and sculptors Yoshitaka Amano from Japan and Sandrine Gestin, Jean-Yves Kervevan and Charles-Eric Gogny from France. These four artists thus lent their talents to the design of one or more characters in the "Bronze Dust" collection. Yoshitaka Amano, one of the world leading Heroic Fantasy artists, has notably designed characters for numerous video games, including Final Fantasy. Hailing from Brittany, the artist and illustrator, Sandrine Gestin, draws her inspiration from the great Celtic legends and has established a reputation illustrating many fantasy fiction books. Artist and sculptor, Jean-Yves Kervevan, has also illustrated numerous science fiction books with works that unveil his simultaneously rich, dark and poetic imagination. Whilst the sculptor, Charles-Eric Gogny, has created his own phantasmagorical world, sprinkled with delicate, undulating plant women Made up of 6 different models, the statuettes in the "Bronze Dust" collection have been produced from a combination of different resins of excellent quality, to which real bronze powder has been added. It takes 10 to 20 moulds to make each statuette and render all the fine details of the artists original sculpture or drawing. Following the delicate operation of assembling its various parts, each statuette is then carefully hand-polished with steel wool to bring out the sheen of the bronze, before the final stage of applying a patina, also by hand. It, therefore, comes as no surprise to learn that, after such a lengthy and painstaking production process - a guarantee of the quality and originality of our statues - we have limited the worldwide availability of each model to 600. Welcome, then, to our fantastic, poetic and medieval universe or, more simply, welcome to our world. Cecile and Christine
