Product information "Berliner Fauna, 22cm"

Berlin is home to a multitude of animals! Who has never met a fox on their street corner, seen squirrels in one of the many parks or herons by a lake? And as soon as you cross the city gates, deer and wild boar can be found in large numbers. Our beloved cartoonist Valeriu Kurtu has decided to pay tribute to this wildlife in a springtime setting amidst the capital's most famous landmarks. This bear stands on a matching, fully decorated pedestal.

Buddy Bear miniature with separate glass base plate, packed in a transport-safe white color box. Material polyresin. Handmade.

He attended the Art School in Kishinev and then studied at the Academy of Cinematography (WGIK) in the Department of Animated Film in Moscow, graduating in 1982.

He completed the 2-year course in directing and screenwriting in Moscow in 1987. As a writer and director, he made seven animated films. At the same time, he published cartoons in essential magazines and caricature journals such as Krokodil (Russia), Eulenspiegel (Germany), Ursika (Romania) and in his home country Moldova in the magazine Ciparusch. In 1990 he joined the Art Association of the USSR and Moldova, and in 1994 he became a member of the Journalists' Association of Moldova.
In 1994, when he was already a recognised artist, he moved to Berlin with his family.
In 2003, he opened his gallery (KurtuKunst) with his wife, who is also an artist.
