YAEL MATUTE

I work between screen and foundry — building 3D models in Blender and preparing them for lost-wax bronze casting, resin, and stone. Sculptures I've designed have shown at Everard Read Gallery, Wanas Konst, and Origin Art, with one standing permanently at the V&A Waterfront.

What I Do

FOUR DISCIPLINES, ONE PROCESS

01

Digital Sculpture & Fabrication

3D models built for lost-wax bronze casting, resin, and stone production pipelines.

02

Art Direction & Visual Identity

Logos, brand systems, and product concepts — from idea to finished asset.

03

Photography

Documentary and personal work, shot on film and digital.

04

Motion & Animation

Motion graphics, 3D animation, and short-form video series.

A Family Is A Branch

One root, many directions. I built the branch itself digitally from photographs of a real branch, then took Atang's clay maquette creatures — climbing, perched, tucked into its fork — and refined them digitally before the whole piece was cast in bronze.

Puruma

A lion mid-stride, crowned with a flower-petal head instead of a mane. I rebuilt the real piece digitally, hand-matching each of its hundreds of individually colored petals from photographs, down to the small glass bead nested at the center — sourced from its permanent home at Wanas Konst, Sweden.
