Jorge Cainas Art - Jorge Cainas

I use a concrete, clay, and resin mixture to bind the crystals, fossils, meteorites, glass, metals, ceramics, and beadwork. The concrete, clay, sand, and mineral mix is poured into holes I've shaped using clay or single-use forms that I break once the concrete is cured. I then hand-paint the concrete and add resin in-lays with other materials like dried herbs, flowers, gemstones, fossils, and common objects like matchsticks or paper clips. I use techniques such as wire wrapping, basket weaving, metalsmithing, lapidary, beadwork, clay hand-building, lampwork glass, and painting.
