# Skeletal Steampunk Sculptures Artist Alain Bellino's Bronze Sculptures are Incredibly Intricate By M | Published 2014-07-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-alain-bellino References: [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2014/07/03/extremely-detailed-steampunk-inspired-bronze-sculptures-alain-bellino/) & [alain-bellino.net](http://www.alain-bellino.net/) French artist and sculptor Alain Bellino creates unbelievably detailed [bronze sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flor-de-bronce) from a wide variety of scrap metal pieces. By welding the various metallic sheets together, Bellino is able to produce unbelievably lifelike [skull and steampunk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness) recreations. Bellino's work beautifully combines ornate vintage aesthetic with modern artistic concepts. The French sculptor often uses the metal scraps to recreate various steampunk and floral structures that feature detailed [floral and swirl patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lithic-bloom). The surrealist nature of Bellino's pieces is intriguing to look at as it invites the viewer to contemplate the stories behind the artwork, such as how a skull and a steampunk could be artistically connected. One piece in particular features a white metallic skull with a red bronze apple pieced with a golden arrow. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Skeletal Steampunk Sculptures:** Exploring the fusion of steampunk and skeletal themes in sculpture art. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Sculpture:** Opportunity for artists to create innovative and intricate sculptures using scrap metal pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Insect-Inspired Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-bronze-sculptures.md) - [Artful Anime-Blending Split Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md) - [Primal-Themed Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-return.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Sci-Fi Nostalgic Dragon Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ground-dragon.md)
