Artist Creates Stunningly Realistic 3D Sculptures of Dogs

For Dog People
By Kiki Kane

Share91Tweet0Pin It1

Toronto artist Helen Violet creates palm-sized, one-of-a-kind sculptures of pets with awe-inspiring attention to detail. She spends weeks on each creation, using photos to capture every unique aspect of a dog’s personality.

The sculptures are formed of clay on a wire base, and can be created in any pose. After sculpting the body to perfection, layers and layers of acrylic paint are added over time to create rich depth.

 

Helen’s artistry at work

Helen’s work is so sought after, she’s booked up for the year and a waiting list is filling up. You can follow her work on Instagram and get in touch with her via her Facebook page.

 

Harley

One year ago today, the world lost a hero. If you don't know Harley, please see @harleypuppymilldog to learn about this special boy and his mission. ❤?? What an honor it was to create this sculpture in memory of a sweet prince who inspired so many. #endpuppymills #rescuedog #harleysdream #lovelikeharley #adoptdontshop
