Artist Bruno Torf created this sculpture garden as a permanent attraction in the small Victorian village of Marysville near Melbourne, Australia. The luscious sub-alpine forests of the surrounding areas were ideal for Bruno’s settings which consists of over three hundred paintings and sculptures. The garden started out with just fifteen life size terracotta sculptures but slowly grew to over one hundred and fifteen pieces on display.

Awesome sculptures
it would be fucking scary, if I saw one of those at night in a forest
Your sculpture's reach right to the soul. You have such a beautiful gift to share with a troubled world.
Since we can't all come to you except via computer - maybe our gov'ts could be convinced an art show of your works would aid peace in the heart of all.
Thanks for sharing your gift with us. Granny D Kelowna,BC Canada
I would have never known of Bruno Torfs had it not been for the fire - I contacted some friends in Australia to see how they were getting on. They later told me of the beautiful loss. Thank you for sharing what may never be rebuilt.

I am heartbroken that this magical place built with love has been destroyed. My prayers are with everyone affected by these fires, especially Bruno Torfs.
An absolute catastrophe that they are now lost forever, because of the bushfires.
“Bruno Torfs’ eerie creations appear much too lifelike to be fathomed as original artistic constructs. Fantasy figures, at once magical and foreboding, evoke another world transcending mortal imagery.
Aboriginal, mythical, Indian, bestial, and angelic creatures lurk, sinister and heavenly, amid lush fern and mossy undergrowth along a winding forest path.
Wooden flesh, creased and aged with deliberate precision, mark the formidable frozen vignettes that flank the shallow movement of a crystal ancient stream; while sinewy limbs, too perfect a semblance of human form, captivate and arouse in sensual, hypnotic illustration.
Plaintive and playful sculptures, hewn and carved, smoothed by artisan hands, inhabit an ethereal garden walk from the pages of fable and legend.
A master’s vision now lies in state amid the ashes of a mystical land ravaged.” —BJ Latas
