FNLA #28 BRONZE SCULPTURE OF ELEPHANT WITH
MARBLE BASE
Portofino of the Lakes has generously donated this beautiful bronze sculpture of an
elephant on a marble base. This piece of art was created by Miguel Fernando
Lopez a brilliant Portuguese artist and sculptor who was born in 1955. Growing
up, Miguel figured to follow in the footsteps of many young men in Portugal and
join the military. However, his passion for his sculpting hobby drew him away
from the military and into the fine arts at the local university. Miguel still works as
a freelance artist and takes his relationships with his clients very seriously. He still
stays in contact with his very first client, a German entrepreneur. This item is
located on the table next to the stage. The Novi chapter would like to thank
Portofino of the Lakes for this 100% donation.
Donor Value: $1200.00
