When a Sculpture Becomes a Canvas

Every Advanced Canvas sculpture tells its own story.

Some through the natural character of concrete. Others through handcrafted finishes, iconic motorsport liveries, precious metal leaf or original artworks. Every finish transforms the character of a sculpture and offers a new perspective on the vehicle's original design.

But none of these creations happen by chance.

Behind every surface lies a combination of experience, craftsmanship and creative influences that shape each piece we create.

Every Finish Follows Its Own Path

There is no universal approach to creating a finish.

Some sculptures begin with a clearly defined vision. A client may request an iconic motorsport livery or a completely bespoke design, providing a clear creative direction from the very beginning. Within that framework, every line, colour and detail is carefully developed by hand.

Other projects begin with little more than an idea. Perhaps it is a colour palette, a particular mood or the inspiration of a historic racing livery. From there, the artwork evolves naturally. Lines change, colours are adjusted, details are added, refined or removed until the composition feels complete.

This balance between experience, intuition and experimentation is what makes every finish unique.

A Background Rooted in Design

The artistic language behind our finishes did not emerge overnight.

Alexander studied Transportation Design and worked as an automotive designer. Long before that, drawing, illustration and graffiti had already become an important part of his creative journey, shaping his understanding of composition, typography, movement and large-scale visual expression.

Pierre followed a different creative path. As a trained graphic designer and former tattoo artist, he spent years refining his sense for linework, contrast and precision. Skills that continue to influence the handcrafted details found in our sculptures today.

Different backgrounds. One shared passion for creating.

More Than a Motorsport Livery

Liveries such as Martini Racing and Gulf are among the most iconic graphic identities in automotive history.

They are far more than paint schemes. They have become part of the visual language of motorsport and continue to inspire designers around the world.

When we reinterpret these designs on our sculptures, our goal is not simply to recreate a historic vehicle. We are interested in the graphic composition itself—how colours, lines and proportions interact with the form of the sculpture to create something new.

Alongside these iconic liveries, many of our sculptures feature original artworks that combine different materials, textures and artistic techniques. While inspired by automotive culture, each piece develops its own identity.

Every Surface Tells a Different Story

No two finishes are ever exactly alike.

Some sculptures remain understated, relying on subtle tones and restrained details. Others embrace bold colours, expressive brushwork or graphic compositions that completely transform the visual character of the piece.

What they all share is the same intention.

A finish should never feel like decoration. It should become an integral part of the sculpture itself.
