Description

Forchino is a renowned brand that specializes in unique and humorous figurines and sculptures. Founded by Guillermo Forchino in the early 1980s, this brand is known for its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Guillermo's artistic journey began in Rosario, Argentina, where he experimented with different materials at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.


He further honed his skills in art restoration and conservation at Sorbonne University in Paris. During this time, he developed his signature style of using wrapped bands of cloth, wax, and paper maché to create figures with colored pigments. In the late 1980s, Forchino started using polyresins to bring his imaginative scenes to life.


From overloaded family cars to tired old trucks, his creations often depict humorous and unusual subjects inspired by the world of comic strips and cartoons. He has also ventured into crafting boats, planes, motorcycles, and even a floating bathtub. One of Forchino's popular series is the Professionals Series, featuring individuals in various sports and occupations.


These highly detailed figurines stand at an average height of 45 cm. To cater to collectors' preferences, a smaller version called the Special Editions Series was introduced, approximately 50% smaller than the original. Guillermo Forchino resides and works in Paris, showcasing his creativity just steps away from the renowned Père Lachaise cemetery.


In collaboration with VMM, his artwork has been reproduced by skilled artisans in the Far East. These limited editions faithfully replicate the originals and are individually numbered, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Forchino's enchanting creations have captivated art lovers worldwide, bringing joy and laughter into their homes.
