Imagine this: you spend a lifetime creating the perfect sculpture garden and then you lose everything… This is the incredible and inspirational story of Bruno Torfs: how it all started, how he lost everything and how the best came out when things got really dark.
Bruno Torfs was born in South America and lived there with his family till the age of fifteen. At this point the whole family made the move to Europe in seek of new opportunities. After working as a sign writer Bruno made a gradual transition to become a fulltime artist. Through his diverse talents and a spirit for adventure Bruno created a unique style full of culture and character. This was achieved through his many trips around the world.
These artworks would then be sold in a series of annual exhibitions hosted in the lower levels of the family home.
After several years of this lifestyle, Bruno and the family made a decision to pack up and move to Australia to create a sculpture garden that he would run as a permanent attraction. The family arrived in Melbourne and shortly after had found the perfect place in the small Victorian village of Marysville. After months of backbreaking work Bruno’s art and sculpture garden was opened to the public.
The garden began with just fifteen life sizes terracotta sculptures, but after years of hard labor — over one hundred and fifteen pieces were on display. Below you can see some of our favorites.
