Custom St Michael the Archangel marble relief sculpture hand carved from natural stone

Custom Marble Relief & Bas-Relief Sculptures

Turn a photograph, drawing, historical artwork or original idea into a custom marble relief.
Yun Sculpture creates marble relief and bas-relief sculptures for churches, memorials, architectural walls, public spaces and private commissions.
Each project can be customized in size, marble color, composition, carving depth, border and inscription. Depending on the complexity of the design, we can also prepare a digital or sculptural model for review before final carving begins.

Custom Marble Relief Sculptures for Different Projects

Relief sculpture works especially well when a full three-dimensional statue is not suitable for the available space. We can adapt the subject and carving depth for wall installation, monuments, architectural decoration and religious interiors.

Bas Relief, Medium Relief & High Relief

The depth of a relief changes both its appearance and the way light creates shadows across the sculpture. We can recommend a suitable depth based on the subject, viewing distance and installation space.

Bas Relief / Low Relief

The figures project only slightly from the background. This style works well for portraits, plaques, inscriptions and decorative wall panels where a relatively shallow profile is preferred.

Medium Relief

Greater carving depth creates stronger shadows and a more dimensional appearance while keeping the main forms clearly connected to the stone background.

High Relief

High-relief figures project deeply from the background and can create an almost three-dimensional appearance. It is especially effective for dramatic religious, historical and monumental scenes.

Natural Marble Options for Relief Sculpture

Marble color and veining influence the final character of a relief. Because every block of natural stone is different, we select the material according to the design, dimensions and installation environment.

White Marble

A classic choice for portraits, religious scenes, memorials and classical sculpture. Light-colored marble makes shadows and carved details easy to read.

Natural beige marble stone material with warm tones and natural veining for custom relief sculpture

Beige & Warm-Toned Marble

Suitable for architectural reliefs, historical scenes and projects that need to coordinate with warm-colored stone buildings or interiors.

Custom Marble Relief Work by Yun Sculpture

You don’t always need a full body. A sculpture of horse head is a great decoration for a desk or a gate post.

Greek Horseman Marble Relief

This custom marble relief was created from a historical artwork reference for a private U.S. client. The composition, proportions and relief depth were adjusted to the requested size before the sculpture was carved in natural marble and refined by hand.
Detailed photos were provided for approval before the finished relief was packed and shipped to the client.

St. Michael & St. Gabriel Marble Reliefs for a Church

A pair of large marble reliefs depicting St. Michael and St. Gabriel were created for a church project in the United States. The figures were carved in natural marble with particular attention to the wings, garments, facial features and architectural proportions.
A complete project case study will document the sculpture, packing, delivery and final installation once the project is fully completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We can work from photographs, drawings, paintings, historical artwork or an original design. For portrait reliefs, clear photographs from multiple angles are especially useful.

The dimensions can be customized according to the design and installation location. Small portrait panels, large architectural wall reliefs and multi-figure church reliefs can all require different stone thicknesses and construction methods. Send us the required width and height for evaluation.

Natural stone can be used outdoors, but the stone type, thickness, mounting method and local climate should be considered before production. Tell us where the relief will be installed so the project can be evaluated accordingly.

Bas relief has relatively shallow projection from the background, while high relief uses much greater depth and creates a stronger three-dimensional appearance. The best option depends on the subject, viewing distance and installation space.

Yes. Names, dates, quotations, dedication text, religious symbols, emblems and decorative borders can be incorporated into the stone design.

Pricing depends on the dimensions, marble type, number of figures, carving depth, portrait detail, design complexity and delivery destination. Send us your reference image and required size for a project quotation.
