When Fausto Bravo was 12 years old, he went to the Cajas with his family, none of whom were artists. He picked up some clay and thought “I can create something with this.” He molded a bull which by morning had fallen apart. So he went to the universities to find an art teacher who would show him how to preserve the pieces he made.
For many years, Fausto sculpted clay. He was well known for his figures with oversized hands and feet. In recent years, Fausto has devoted himself to wood carving and painting.
We will begin with a tour of Maestro Bravo’s public works in the historic center of Cuenca (15 minutes of walking in total).
We will then pay a visit to Fausto’s studio, where you will meet the artist and see his exceptional body of current works.
Please contact me to see some photos of his work.
