3D-sculptures

Zwiet Driems can also do 3D work or paint 3D work for you.

The picture below shows 4 sculptures with a tempex base. After that they were treated with polyester or paverpol to make them weatherproof.

The two cats on the left were made for a diner in Utrecht, 1 for the inside and 1 for the outside of the building. They both had lamps for eyes and the inside-version even got a smokemachine in the mouth. They were both treated with paverpol, painted and varnished.

Seal "Whiskers" on the right was done two times. Both were covered with polyester and after that painted and coated with a transparant varnish. The seal was/is the logo of Ocean Parc in HongKong and they were, or still are, standing outside.

This "Speakerfant" was painted for Elephant Parade.

The Elephant Parade wants to raise attention with this project for the Asian elephant that is threatened with extinction. By asking all kind of artists to paint the elephants they ask attention for this cause. After the exhibition all 112 elephants will be sold to the highest bidder at Christie’s auction at the 'Westergasfabriek' in Amsterdam. The benifits of the Elephant Parade auction and other sells are donated to the Elephant Family, the largest elephant charity in the world.
