When he was young, Juan Teruggi loved to help his grandmother, especially when she baked cakes, in licking the batter covered spoon.  He always knew that he would be a cook but not just any cook; he would be a ‘Master Chef’.  After two years of study at the most prestigious culinary schools the day of his final exam arrived. The jury asked him to prepare a fried egg!

Without showing the slightest surprise at such an unexpected request, adopting a professional style and with the elegance of a classical dancer, he started to heat the olive oil and butter. He cracked the egg, separated the whites which he began to cook.  He added salt and pepper and after a minute, with a magnificent and heroic movement of his hand, placed the yolk in the center.

Two minutes later he pulled the frying pan from the fire, served the egg on a large plate of porcelain, decorated it with two branches of chive and lightly powered the edges with paprika to add a little color. Spinning in a pirouette with an expression full of pride and with great reverence, presented it to the members of the jury.  Everything would have been a tremendous success if only the egg had not slide of the plate and landed at the feet of the jury.

Forchino sculptures are produced in resin and hand-painted to bring every detail to life. Some pieces are mixed media, with bits of string, wire and artificial grass adding an extra touch of realism.
