Our Story

Our Story

Minimalist beige ceramic vase on a table with a beige tablecloth, with a beige cloth and a small branch of dried white berries beside it, in a softly lit room.

With a combined experience of over 30 years, David and Ado have mastered the art of portrait sculpting, to capture the spirit of the people and icons we love.

Minimalist sculpture with a black cube base, a black spherical middle, and a wooden pyramid on top, placed on a white surface with soft lighting.

Their partnership began through a shared passion for sculptural artistry and a mutual admiration for capturing human expression in three-dimensional form. What started as collaborative projects soon evolved into LinAdo, a studio dedicated to creating portraits that resonate on an emotional level.

Today, LinAdo stands as a testament to their commitment to excellence in portraiture, with each piece reflecting their meticulous attention to detail and profound understanding of human character.
