Figurative sculptures – the book

Presentation of this book of sculptures

Milo media-catalogue figurativeThis book is the first part of the carved artwork of Milo Dias, one that goes from 1982 to 1996.

-' The small love gules"(1982-1991);
-"Thanatos" (1989);

-' Fellow travellers' (1995);
-' Men and Machines… ". "(1996).
