relief definition and meaning

What is "relief"?

Relief is a sculpting technique where the design sticks out from a flat surface, creating a three-dimensional effect. The background remains flat, while the figures or patterns stand out at different levels, giving the appearance of depth. Relief can be either high, where the figures stick out a lot, or low, where the design sticks out less. This technique is commonly used in architecture, coins, and decorative art to add visual interest and texture.
