Sculptures are part of a visual art in which either hard materials like metals or comparatively softer materials like wood or clay are used and worked into a three dimensional art object. There has been enormous effort and new dimensions explored in the recent years into this art form and it is hard to predict how fast and in which direction it will go in years to come. Experiments are being done in a variety of materials and a number of crafting techniques. Sculptures are mostly art works and not always related to the things in the real world.

 

Statue is a free-standing sculpture in which realistic full length figures of persons, animals or non-representational forms are carved or cast in a durable material such as wood, metal or stone. They generally personify the looks and size of the original inspiration object , so they are life sized or close to it. Statues, statuette are also sculptures but they are more realistic and mostly figures of famous persons or popular animals. This way they are more closer to the real world. The popular figures they represent are mostly famous figures from the history but they can also be mythical. Hence generally a statue is a large sculpture of a person, animal or any other living creature. They are mostly carved in materials like wood and stone and casted in materials like various metals of brass, bronze etc.

​

Statues have been produced in many cultures from pre-history to the present; the oldest-known statue dating to about 30,000 years ago. Statues represent many different people and animals, real and mythical. Many statues are placed in public places as public art. Those statues which are giant size and multiple size of the original inspiration object, they are termed as Colossal Statues.

 

While sculpture generally flourished in European Medieval art, the single statue was not one of the most common types, except for figures of the Virgin Mary, usually with Child, and the corpus or body of Christ on crucifixes. Both of these appeared in all size up to life-size, and by the late Middle Ages many churches, even in villages, had a crucifixion group around a rood cross. The Gero Cross in Cologne is both one of the earliest and finest large figures of the crucified Christ. As yet, full-size standing statues of saints and rulers were uncommon, but tomb effigies, generally lying down, were very common for the wealthy from about the 14th century, having spread downwards from royal tombs in the centuries before.

 

Figurines or Statuette is also a sculpture that represents persons or animals in full figure but that is small enough to lift and carry. Figurines in fact are small statues which may be carved or moulded and mostly represent human beings, animals or other living creatures. Hence you can say that statues of small size are called figurines.

 

India is a land of artisans and craft persons. As the climate in India is pretty hot and humid, so materials like stone, wood and metals are most likely to be used for creating the magic of statues, sculptures or figurines.

 

There is also a tradition of making statues in the Hindu culture where all Hindu God and Goddess are very popular to be created, conserved and worshipped.
