Awards, competitions and exhibitions |
Unfortunately time does not allow for Gino to enter or exhibit his work as much as
he would like any more, this is due to the high demand of his services and a
very hectic schedule. As we all know, it takes time, vision and talent to produce
a work of art. With customers from all corners of the globe Gino is kept extremely
busy, yet all orders are consistently delivered on time.
