Ataturk Sculptures

Atatürk sculptures are built to keep the cherished memory of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, alive, to pass on his principles and reforms to future generations, and to symbolize social loyalty. These works are not just art objects, but also a concrete symbol of the struggle for independence and the birth of modern Turkey. These sculptures, located in city squares, school gardens, and public institutions, represent the common values of society while adding a spiritual weight and dignity to the place where they are located.

The poses preferred in Atatürk sculptures generally vary according to the purpose of the space where they will be exhibited and the message intended to be given. Among the most preferred are; the "Kocatepe" stance symbolizing determination and military genius, the dignified "Civilian Clothing" stances emphasizing the identity of a statesman, and "Atatürk with Children" compositions emphasizing education. In addition, "Atatürk on Horseback" sculptures, representing victory and foresight, are indispensable focal points of large squares.

In Atatürk busts produced for schools and public institutions, standard dimensions that are proportional to the size of the space and the pedestal height are generally preferred. The most commonly used bust heights are 60 cm, 70 cm, and 80 cm. These dimensions ensure that the bust exhibits the most impressive and respectful stance by remaining at eye level or slightly above when placed on a marble pedestal. For large garden-type monuments, busts of 90 cm and above or full-length sculptures can be projected.

Atatürk sculptures are produced using the most durable materials and the most advanced production techniques due to the spiritual value they carry. Bronze casting or high-quality composite sculptures produced for outdoors are extremely resistant to corrosion, extreme heat, and freezing cold. Special protective patinas and UV-filtered varnishes applied during the production phase prevent the color of the work from fading and the surface from wearing out.

Yes, the restoration of Atatürk sculptures that have worn out over time due to external factors or lack of maintenance, whose paint has peeled off, or whose surface has corroded can be meticulously performed by our expert team. The restoration process is carried out by remaining fully faithful to the original, without causing any damage to the original form and artistic details of the work. Dirt and oxide layers on the surface are cleaned, structural cracks, if any, are repaired, and patina or paint application suitable for the original color of the sculpture is redone.

Absolutely, we can design and produce completely original Atatürk compositions in accordance with the purpose of your project and the spirit of the area where it will be installed. Beyond standard poses, multi-figured monument groups depicting a specific historical moment of Atatürk, where he is with his comrades-in-arms or the public, can be modeled by our professional sculptors. During the design phase, historical documents and photos are meticulously examined to ensure the accuracy and artistic depth of the composition.
