Stone sculptors (lat.: statuarius or sculptor) produce sculptural natural stone works. In contrast to stonemasons, their work is more creative and less geometric, i.e. no profile work or structural work such as stairs or kitchen worktops. The stone sculptor can work creatively as well as realize predetermined sculptures in stone.

Raphael Hilpert has been working as a stone sculptor in Basel and the surrounding area since 2002. After completing his apprenticeship as a stone sculptor, Raphael Hilpert opened his own stone sculpting studio at Hörnliallee 75 in Riehen, Basel, as a young entrepreneur. Equipped with a mobile workspace, Raphael Hilpert also carries out sculpting and lettering work on site at various cemeteries.
