Guardian of Hope

It is the stillness that holds you. Superman stands upright in a single seamless white, feet planted, chest forward, cape falling quiet behind him, every line of the figure precise, every muscle accounted for, the symbol present on his chest. There is no flight here, no fight, only the calm of a figure who has nothing left to prove. And beside him, at knee height, stands a small polished gold bear, one arm raised in greeting. Two figures sharing a single floor as equals: one the most recognised image of strength in modern culture, the other small, bright, and entirely the artist's own. The scale should feel imposing. It feels tender. Cast in resin, hand-finished in the studio, and released in a strictly limited edition signed by the artist, this is a sculpture that walks the line between monument and companion, and rewards anyone who chooses to live with it close by.

Pre-order

When you place a pre-order for our artwork, it means you're reserving your piece as part of a limited production run. We first collect a series of orders to ensure efficient and high-quality manufacturing, allowing us to produce the artwork in batches. Once we reach the optimal number of pre-orders, production will begin promptly.

Our team is committed to crafting each piece with meticulous care and the utmost speed possible, using premium materials and techniques to meet our exacting standards. However, due to the artisanal nature of the process and variables like material sourcing and printing timelines, we are unable to provide a precise delivery date at the time of ordering.

Rest assured, we will keep you informed with periodic updates on production progress via email. You will receive a final notification once your artwork is complete and ready for shipment, along with tracking details for a seamless delivery experience. Thank you for your patience and support in bringing this creation to life.

Made-to-order

When you select a made-to-order artwork, it signifies that production begins exclusively upon receiving your purchase. This approach ensures that each piece is crafted specifically for you, as a sold item, allowing us to dedicate our resources and expertise to fulfilling your order with precision and care.

Unlike mass-produced items, we do not create the artwork in advance or to individual custom specifications; instead, your order directly triggers the process, guaranteeing that it is made only because it has been acquired. Our artisans employ the finest materials and techniques to deliver a high-quality, one-of-a-kind reproduction tailored to our established design.

This method supports sustainable production while maintaining exceptional standards. We appreciate your choice to invest in a truly bespoke experience.

Time line

Regarding the production timeline for your artwork order, we begin by gathering a sufficient number of orders to optimize our artisanal process and ensure the highest quality. This initial phase typically lasts about four weeks, after which production commences without delay.

Our dedicated team then works diligently and as swiftly as possible, employing meticulous craftsmanship to bring your piece to life. The actual production phase will require an additional number of weeks, depending on the complexity and scale of the artwork, to guarantee exceptional results. At this point, it is not possible to provide an exact delivery date or time, as variables in the process may influence the final schedule.

Throughout this journey, we will provide you with periodic updates via email, sharing progress on the creation of your beautiful artwork. We value your patience and look forward to delivering a piece that exceeds your expectations.

Limited edition number allocation

Limited edition numbers are assigned based on availability, and we’re not able to take requests for specific numbers. Many collectors ask for the same numbers, and to keep everything fair and accurate we allocate numbers on a first-come, first-served basis. Editions are numbered consecutively starting from 1 as orders are confirmed. We also reserve a small selection of numbers, and for that reason we don’t publish which numbers are available or already sold.

Guardian of Hope in collectors' homes

Pictured in an interior setting, Guardian of Hope shows how naturally the sculpture settles into a lived-in room. Placed on a sideboard, a mantelpiece, or a dedicated plinth, the piece brings a presence that feels considered rather than loud. The clean white figure carries its scale with stillness, and the polished gold bear beside it adds a moment of warmth and personality that softens any space around it. Light moves across the resin gently through the day, giving the work a different quality in the morning, in the afternoon, and after dark. The intention behind this photograph is simple, to let you imagine the sculpture at home, where it is meant to be seen.
