Meet Germán García Cardona, Colombian “taurino” sculptor, and distinguished by the Veterinarians’ Association (ACOVEZ) as one of the 100 most outstanding veterinarians in 100 years of the profession, out of the 14,000 that there are currently in the country.

Born in Santa Rosa de Cabal, Risaralda, in 1941. In 1960 he entered the University of Caldas, where he graduated as a veterinarian. His great loves are animals, art and the “fiesta brava”, the bullfight. In 1952 he attended his first bullfight at the opening of the Manizales bullring. In 1968 he began his career as a taxidermist, having stuffed 500 heads. Twenty-five years later he moved toward classical sculpture, creating works out of 32 tons of bronze, as well as 1400 sculptures and 218 fundiciones to the present day.
