And all this was created by the Chilean artist Jorge Celaron. He decided to create a work of art in his prestigious paradise. At first, he made tiles himself, on which, by the way, he depicted himself as pregnant. The staircase gradually gained fame. Tourists from all over the world began to bring him tiles. His ladder began to appear on the pages of magazines and in travel broadcasts. He became a celebrity. But fame did not spoil him. Selaron got up with the dawn of the sun, started his work and worked as long as there was enough light. He didn't need anything for himself. He dedicated his work to the city and said that it would end only on the day of his death. And so it happened, he was found dead on the steps of his stairs.
