Echinoid is more than just art; it's a captivating journey into the world of celestial sea urchins. These unique pieces are meticulously crafted with a blend of wirework, resin artistry, and hand-detailing, resulting in something truly enchanting. Each Echinoid starts with a wire grid, creatively shaped into a gourd-like form. Delicate 'wishbones,' their tips coated in clear resin, are individually secured through soldering. Color is applied with precision, and golden leaf speckles are playfully scattered. The final touch is a sealing resin layer, creating an illusion of suspended dewdrops or insects encased in amber. Echinoid is a celebration of precision and creativity, offering a one-of-a-kind artistic experience that's bound to captivate your senses.

About The Artist
Racso Jugarap A self-taught artist from the Philippines who has always been fascinated with creations. Growing up to be the youngest son of a jewelry crafter, Racso had already been exposed and seen playing with the tools in his father’s workshop, creating toys, or making a very intricate school project. Later on, while studying Hospitality Management, he had already been commissioned to do pieces for hotels and business establishments.
He was given an opportunity to travel around the world working as a chef and to see the beauty, energy, and culture the world has to offer. Now living in Belgium and having to experience firsthand how art has been part of most of the people's lives, this inspired him to share his art to the public that has been kept hidden for so long. Curves have been always an element in his works. For him, curve shapes express fluid movement and it could be dynamic. It depends on how much the curve is in the object, the less curve the calmer.
