Ombra

Private art commission

What you cherish,
shaped into a private work.

Guided by photographs and narrative, Ombra creates private artworks for people, relationships, and the moments that matter.

Give memory a form.

Ombra means shadow. Light fades; the trace remains.

A photograph keeps outline, expression, and posture; a narrative keeps relationship, time, and feeling. Ombra turns the two into a private work — to display, to collect, and to archive.

Selected works

Real people. Real moments. Privately made.

The Ombra Standard

Likeness is the first requirement.

A true Ombra piece asks for more than likeness — the person's expression, the measure of a relationship, and the air particular to that moment.

01

Identity

Face shape, eyes, hairstyle, posture, and personal detail form a person's recognisability.

02

Relationship

Graduation, wedding, family, and portrait each hold their own order of relationship. Gesture, distance, and composition set the emotional centre of the piece.

03

Material

Ceramic resin, translucent surfaces, soft gold detail, and velvet packaging complete the piece's character through colour, sheen, and touch.

04

Human Refinement

Digital sculpting sets the base form; refinement by hand calibrates expression, proportion, and detail. Every judgement returns to a person's eye.

Process

A private commission begins with narrative.

01

Submit

Submit photographs; write down the people, the relationship, and the moment.

02

Direction

From the narrative, the pose, proportion, material, atmosphere, and direction of the piece are set.

03

Calibrate

Face shape, expression, hairstyle, clothing, and relationship details are calibrated.

04

Complete

After sculpting, hand refinement, production, and inspection, the piece is numbered and delivered.

What to expect

Timeline

Usually 4–8 weeks; the exact timeline depends on the number of figures and the complexity of production.

Approval

Before production begins, the direction, styling, and overall look are confirmed.

Privacy

Photographs and finished pieces are shown publicly only with the client's consent.

Delivery

Once the piece is finished, inspection, numbering, packaging, and delivery are arranged.

Commission a work for the people, relationships, and moments you cherish.

A single photograph can begin the work; the people, the relationship, and the narrative together decide its form.

About private commissions

The Ombra Archive

Every Ombra piece is named, numbered, and archived.

When a piece is finished, it enters the Ombra Archive. Its name, number, material, dimensions, occasion, and care notes together form its long-term record.

Real archive entries will be published as the first pieces are completed.

Once you share the first details, Ombra will confirm the story, the direction, and the commission arrangements with you.

A formal commission begins only after the first conversation.
