About Guido Deleu - Cores da Terra
The thick belly statue is perfect for indoor decoration and also makes a great gift. Its sympathetic appearance adapts to any environment. The figures like to appear in groups and can combine according to your desire. Only after his career as a building engineer, Guido Deleu was dedicated to his passion for sculpting. To find his very personal style, he attended the "Academie of Art" in Roeselare, Belgium for 3 years and also learned the work of marble, the tricks, and secrets of one of the most traditional handicrafts of Italy. The first bronze original of his famous statue was born in 1996 in a competition for a cultural center in Flanders. Since then, the victory of his art creation has been unstoppable.
