In a seamless transition from the world of two-dimensional art, Nafisa explores the enduring allure of sculpture, particularly focusing on the process of lost wax bronze casting—a technique as ancient as it is intricate. She admires the Renaissance era, a period when bronze sculpture reached unparalleled heights of beauty and complexity, symbolising a harmonious blend of artistic vision and technical mastery.

Nafisa explains, “The process of creating a bronze sculpture, from the initial modeling in wax to the final casting in metal, is a fascinating blend of art and alchemy. It's a method that has bridged centuries, connecting modern artists with the legendary craftsmen of the Renaissance.”

Through her narrative, she highlights the meticulous steps involved in lost wax casting, emphasizing its significance in preserving the purity of the artistic expression, and how it allows for the creation of dynamic, lasting works that communicate across time, resonant with the spirit of Renaissance artistry.
