Patrick Gerola, an artist from Brussels, the capital of Belgium, the birthplace of the Manneken Pis, has created a gigantic sculpture measuring 2.2 meters. By painting the same image in 3D, it appears as if it has emerged from the plane. The secret to its brilliant color is its homemade color materials. Originally conceived from the painting technique of "al fresco," the sculpture is made by mixing resin with "mineral pigments," a natural pigment traditionally used in Japanese painting.
