Enlargement
Haligon Fine Art can enlarge or reduce your works thanks to a state-of-the-art 3D Pantograph.
Enlargements are usually made out of styrofoam, then they are coated and finished to meet the artist’s requirements.

Casting & Painting
Once we have a mold, we can make castings from plaster, resin and fiberglass as well as synthetic stone, or concrete – depending on budget and needs.
Castings can be finished in a variety of ways, such as a patina or the endless possibilities offered by paint (satin, flat, glossy, gradient…).
