Homem descendo a rua - Monchique, Portugal - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

This sculpture depicts a young man walking down the street while preparing to smoke his pipe.

The young man is walking down the street. He has no shoes (this is a constant in the work of Melicio) but he looks elegant and he´s wearing a nice suite. On the hand he carries a pipe and is probably preparing to smoke.

Jorge Melicio was born in 1957 in Lobito, Angola.
Melicio went to the Antonio Arroio Decorative Arts High School and the Lisbon University Fine Arts School.
He lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal and works in bronze, stone, ceramics, drawing and resin.
Melicio has public works in various cities in Portugal, Italy, France, Mexico, Brazil, Romania, Russia, England, Iraq, USA, Palestine, Cuba, Libya and Spain.
He worked with the master sculptor Cardenas, now deceased, restorer at the Brooklyn Museum in New York.
