What does the word “Sculpted” mean?

“Sculpt-to create solid objects that represent a thing, person, idea, etc. out of a material such as wood, clay, metal or stone.” (Cambridge Dictionary, 2019)

The word sculpted means giving a shape to a material by the means of carving it with a sharp object.
Here are some synonyms of sculpted-carve, model, chisel, sculpture, fashion, form, shape.

“For centuries used stone for figurative carvings and ornamental architectural work. Different types of stone were used in different regions, with sculptors generally using geologically local materials available nearby. Marble was used in Italy and exported to northern Europe from about 1550 onwards.” (Victoria and Albert museum, sculpture techniques, 2019)

The reason I chose this word for my visual theming is because, just like fashion, its a form of art. The shapes are carved with a particular design in mind and with detailing. Sculpted figures and monuments have always been considered beautiful, let that be a sculpted body or a main entrance carving in stone.

Here is a visual representation of the word sculpted

Few images of sculpted walls, statues and building entrances.

Each pictures shows a different kind of sculpture, specially the statue from Piccadilly circus square and the horse statue on top of Coventry University, London campus. The building entrance sculptures also look beautiful with their flowing designs and layered structure, thus making it the perfect example for the said word.
