Why are we called “WONDER Artistic Models”?
“A feeling of wonder and admiration
caused by something beautiful, remarkable or unknown”.
This is one of the meanings of the word “WONDER”.
And it is precisely also one of the main objectives of our creations: to ensure that everyone who obtains a WONDER model lives an exciting and transcendental experience, from the moment this creation reaches their hands for the first time until they build it, give it life and Incorporate into your spaces.
“Artistic Models” complements the central idea of the project.
Our models have profound scientific foundations and, at the same time, are essentially artistic.
How was the idea born?
WONDER Artistic Models is a growing company born out from the passion and ingenuity of Simón Álvarez, a venezuelan engineer and designer residing in Chile.
“I always liked to do things with my hands. Since I was a child I waited for the school holidays to be able to have time to work on some invention: as soon as the holidays arrived, I was already staying up late with some project.
Also, since I was a child I was fascinated by dinosaurs and animatronics, so I always wanted to work in a company that was related in some way to these themes.”
At the age of 31, Simón decided to emigrate looking for a better life outside of his native land and arrived in Chile, where he had a difficult start.
Despite these early challenges, Simón always had the need to do something different that was connected to his great passions: design, innovation and paleofauna. And after living for a couple of years in Santiago de Chile, this need became stronger and stronger.
Little by little, his skills and his desire led him to the idea that gave birth to what is now WONDER Artistic Models.
This is how the creation of 3D buildable models of dinosaurs came to fulfill 2 purposes:
- Respond to Simón’s desire to offer value to the world from his most precious passions.
- Offer a transcendental experience to adults who, like him, are attracted to paleofauna and who cannot find something that fairly represents that part of them.
When coming up with the idea, Simón was always very clear that it should not be something for mere entertainment, since he knew that there are many beliefs and myths about dinosaurs in popular culture.
Therefore, this product would be ideal both to share his passion with other fans, and to spread well-founded knowledge about each specimen.
What does the future holds?
Behind WONDER Artistic Models there is passion and love for what is done.

Our models are already in more than 30 countries. And, according to its founder, “this is just the beginning”.
