Starting in the early 1980's as an artist, Guillermo Forchino experimented with various materials to create works of art.  Beginning this research in Argentina and continuing in art restoration and conservation at the Sorbonne, Paris, he discovered and mastered classic techniques and materials.

By the end of the decade, he chose poly resins to create figures and scenes that resemble the world of comic strip and cartoon characters.  They are typically unusual and humorous subjects such as a family leaving on vacation in an overloaded car with flat tires or a tired, old American pick-up truck from the 1950's.  He has used other modes of transporation such as boats, planes and motorcycles and has even used a bathtub for a military dictator!  His characters are always handled with humour and finesse and given a soul.
