Lupini Builds & WIRE ART CREATIONS
About the Artist
The Art of Precision
Lupini Builds is the artistic expression of Luigi Lupini, a Canadian sculptor whose work explores the relationship between engineering, mechanical design and fine art.
Specializing in one-of-a-kind wireframe sculptures, Luigi transforms the intricate structures of classic automobiles, historic aircraft and mechanical creations into distinctive works of art.
Every sculpture is individually designed and fabricated entirely by hand. From the initial drawings to the construction of the chassis, wheels, body panels and smallest mechanical details, each component is purpose-made. No prefabricated model parts are used.
His artistic approach reveals the hidden beauty of engineering, exposing the structures and mechanical forms that are normally concealed beneath the surface.
Each finished sculpture is a unique expression of craftsmanship, precision and artistic interpretation.
Engineering Transformed Into Art.
Our Story
All these models are scratch-built and one-of-a-kind. Signed and catalogued for originality.
About the build...
Each piece of art is carefully hand-crafted to scale and with as much detail to keep the attractional features of the real object being recreated.
All the models shown here are approximately 1:12 scale
Our Process
I have a passion for creating frame art to show what lies beneath. Using brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel and carbon fiber
LOOKING BACK
Some of my models bring back the raw beauty and mechanical brilliance from the early 1900's
The Art of Making
Every Lupini Builds sculpture begins with an idea, a drawing and a commitment to precision.
Each component is individually designed, shaped and fabricated by hand, from the underlying wireframe structure to the wheels, body panels and intricate mechanical details.
Construction photographs and technical drawings reveal the extraordinary level of craftsmanship involved in transforming raw materials into an original work of art.
No prefabricated model components are used. Every piece is purpose-made for the sculpture.
Private Commissions

Lupini Builds welcomes enquiries from private collectors, automotive and aviation enthusiasts, and businesses seeking distinctive works of handcrafted art.
Each commission is individually considered, designed and fabricated entirely by hand. Every component is purpose-made, ensuring that each finished sculpture is a unique artistic creation.

One-of-a-Kind Creations — Exclusivity Guaranteed
Every Lupini Builds sculpture is an original, individually handcrafted work of art.
Most of the sculptures displayed in this portfolio have already been sold and are no longer available for purchase. They remain on display as examples of past creations and the craftsmanship behind each piece.
Each sculpture is created as a one-of-a-kind piece. Once sold, that exact design and configuration will not be reproduced.
Commissions based on the same subject may be considered, but each new creation will feature a different model variant, design or configuration, ensuring that the original owner's sculpture remains unique.
When you acquire a Lupini Builds sculpture, you own an original creation — not one of a production series.
Sculpture Availability
Most works featured in this portfolio have been sold and are held in private collections. A limited selection of original sculptures remains available for acquisition.
Please enquire about the availability of a particular sculpture. Private commissions for alternative models and variations are also considered, with each creation maintaining its individual character and exclusivity.
