Questions from Artists & Curators
Can we check the surface texture under real light before finishing the main work?
Yes. All copyright and digital master rights remain with the artist, while allowing matching devotional miniatures when desired. We prepare palm-sized finish swatches so the artist and curator can confirm tone and sheen under gallery lighting.
Who holds the copyright and digital master rights after collaboration?
All copyright and digital master rights belong entirely to the artist or commissioning institution. Stored files are used only for artist-approved editions or maintenance.
Can one digital master be scaled into both an exhibition centerpiece and collector miniatures?
Yes. Once the digital form is finalized, the studio can craft a large gallery centerpiece alongside palm-sized museum-shop or Sculpia collector editions.
