About Starlite Studios
Starlite Originals Sculptures celebrate an innovative and gorgeous balance of classic Old World artistic traditions and modern perspectives, methods, materials and styles. This artwork represents the individual visions of the gifted artists that design and sculpt for Starlite Originals Studios, as well as the company's commitment to showcasing new and provocative looks and styles. Starlite Orginals artists pay tribute to the beauty of nature's own design as their images, ideas and sculptures capture the breed, the species and the spirit with perfection.
Easily recognizable by their characteristic compositions, Starlite Originals Sculptures are crafted from a combination of metal, wood, and porcelain encased in clear Lucite, as well as classic bronze, pewter, resin, and a unique material called Porcelon.
Porcelon is an emerging artistic medium that blends porcelain and resin to produce strikingly detailed yet sturdy sculptural pieces. The advantages to working with Porcelon are many: this new material has the traditional appearance of fine porcelain, the ornate detail of plasticine, and the strength and durability of resin.
Originally formed in California in 1972 as a family-owned fine art print and publishing company, Starlite Originals has grown to embrace its role as a foundry for innovative emerging artists working in a range of materials. Starlite artists are renowned for their forward-thinking, modern techniques and unique combinations of different media to produce cohesive, nature-inspired art objects. One of the company's most popular distinguishing styles, many Starlite Originals pieces are sculpted in resin and then encased in crystal-clear, hand-carved Lucite.
The creative process at Starlite Originals begins with each artist carefully carving their vision in soft sculptural clay called plasticine. After the first carving, a team of master mold makers craft first-generation models using the traditional "lost-wax" casting method. Artists at SO often use a variety of metals in each sculpture, including hand-tooled finishing elements like Lucite, wood, brass, fine pewter, copper, and 24k gold vermeil. The vibrant colors in each sculpture are a result of a patina technique using heat, various chemicals, and acid to permanently oxidize the colors to the metal sculpture.

Historically, sculptures composed of precious metals were crafted using the traditional hot casting process. 25 years ago, the artisans at renowned metal art company D'Argenta introduced an advanced new metalworking technique that changed the way precious metals are sculpted. D'Argenta's new method combined cold casting and electroforming to create intricate, finely detailed sculptures. The pieces are initially plated with a . 015 inch (400 micro) thick layer of copper, then plated with silver or (24K) gold at a thickness of . 001 inch (24 micro). Each sculpture's interior is composed of a polyester fiberglass core that strengthens sleek metal plating. After being formed, each piece is coated with a protective lacquer to prevents tarnishing and maintain luster. This final step ensures that all D'Argenta sculptures, though crafted with fine silver, do not require polish or any type of metal cleaner and can be simply dusted with a dry cloth as needed.
Exported around the world and now available in over 25 countries, D'Aragenta's products have won international acclaim because of their innovative construction and exquisite beauty. In 1981, D'Argenta was recognized with the Bulgarian Government Gold Medal award. In 1992, a D'Argenta sculpture was gifted to His Royal Highness Prince Naruhito of Japan on a visit to Mexico. A nod to the company's exclusive prestige, D'Argenta sculptures have been gifted to an increasingly long list of dignitaries, including Pope John Paul II, Prince Phillip of England, and his Majesty King Harald of Norway.
The gifted artists of D'Argenta include: Manuel Alvarado, Ricardo Del Rio, Enrique Jolly, Javier Arenas Perez, Claudio Rodr

About the Production Process
From the artist's hand to the final polishing stages, many intricate steps go into the creation of a limited edition bronze sculpture. First the reproduction mold is made in which layers of silicone rubber and plaster are delicately applied to the original work. Then hot wax is poured into the reproduction mold to form an exact replica of the original sculpture.
When the wax replica is removed from the mold, it is then inspected and refined or "chased" by hand to remove any imperfections that may have occurred in the reproduction process. Next, ceramic cup and wax sprues, or gates, are added which later will help channel the molten bronze into the shell to create the sculpture.
The next step is creating the ceramic shell by alternately dipping the wax replica over a period of several days into a vat of liquid slurry, then a vat of silica crystals. The shell is then set to dry, and the process repeats until the shell has reached the appropriate thickness and strength.
The finished shell is placed in a high temperature oven that melts and removes the wax (the traditional "lost wax" method). The hardened or "fired" shell is secured, so the molten bronze can now be poured into the wax impression.

"Beach Town" is a captivating original semi-abstract fine art seascape painting that invites viewers into a world of seaside fun and vibrant energy. The skillful combination of abstraction with hints of realism depicts a mesmerizing coastal scene.

The expansiveness of the sky and billowing clouds takes center stage, while the aqua-blue ocean waves roll in against the shoreline. The bold brushstrokes and the interplay of vivid colors create a sense of movement, fluidity, and energy.

On the horizon, the abstraction of seaside hotels and residences emerges. This contrast between the abstract and the recognizable adds depth and intrigue to the artwork, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between imagination and reality. Thick impasto strokes create a tactile quality that entices the viewer to touch the canvas.
