sculpted

Carved into form

Sculpted describes something shaped or carved with deliberate artistry, like a sculpture.

A sculpted figure has been formed from stone, clay, or other material.

The word often describes physical features that appear precisely defined, as if carved: sculpted cheekbones, a sculpted physique.

Landscaping can be sculpted, as can hedges or eyebrows—anything shaped with care and intention.
