In 1980, artist Guillermo Forchino began experimenting with various materials at the Facultad de Bellas Artes Rosario, Argentina, to find the right form for his three-dimensional art. His studies continued at the University of Sorbonne. Guillermo Forchino learned to work with materials such as wax, resin, glue, and traditional compounds. With experience in the methods learned at Sorbonne, Guillermo Forchino returned to Rosario, where he started creating figurative sculptures using delicately colored papier-mâché for the visible parts. Later, Forchino began using resin for his humorous sculptures.
The Story Behind the Character Pascale and Dominique loaded the car with fruit, books, brushes, tubes of oil paint, canvases and an old easel. They went out without any specific direction with the sole desire to find a beautiful landscape to contemplate and to reproduce as a painting. In the back seat, ‘Aramis’, the dog, jumped for joy on the tubes of oil paint, spraying paint in a ‘happening’ of colors. From the left front wheel came a strange noise, the suspension was in a sorry state, the car paint, rusted and cracked, was a pale reminder of the original color. The body had suffered over time and had a few good dents, but the engine … ah the engine, with its characteristic musical purr, a feast for the ears, something sublime, magical! What else could we ask? Total happiness!

Arrived when expected and the item is beautiful. Looks quality and great detail. It is a gift for someone and I don't think they'll be disappointed with it. Also, I had some concerns about delivery time as I was on a tight schedule but had plenty of communication with the seller and it was delivered by Royal Mail which was reassuring.

This is a gift for my wife who loves owls. This piece of Steampunk art takes the wise bird whom Athena in Greek mythology favours to an entirely new level. I love steampunk art and my wife is quite impressed with this figurine which is well made and quite unique.
