Bruno Torf is an artist that creates beautiful works of fantasy art in
his sculpture garden. This garden resides in Marysville, Victoria
hidden away in a magical rainforest setting.
Originally from South America, Bruno moved his family to Marysville in
1995. He originally started his career as a sign writer, but gradually
made the transition to being a fulltime artist. He wanted a place to
exhibit his artwork, so he opened Bruno's Art and Sculpture Garden.
He travels around the world quite frequently, studying different styles
of art. This is definitely apparent in his garden sculptures. He
decided to create the sculpture garden so that he could run it as a
permanent attraction. The garden began with a little over 15 life-size
terracotta sculptures and now has over 115 on display. Combined with
his oil paintings, sketches and small sculptures, there are now over
300 works of art on display at Bruno's Art and Sculpture Garden.
I would love to go to this garden to see these sculptures. It reminds
me of a Lord of the Rings type setting. Now that I think about it....I
don't want to just visit, I'd totally live in a place like this.
Imagine waking up in this fantasy world every day. But then I'd be on
display for all of the tourists....they would probably think I was a
scary gnome when they see what I look like waking up in the morning.
