Creating and teaching myself how to make stunning concrete vessels using only cement and water turned out to be surprisingly straightforward. With a touch of creativity and a dash of experimentation, I transformed these basic elements into a remarkable piece of functional art. The process of crafting a concrete candle vessel spans approximately two weeks. I commence by creating the vessel, then demold it after three hours. After another 72 hours, I seal the vessel, and one week later, I pour the wax. It's a testament to the simplicity and versatility of the process that I was able to shape a unique concrete vessel that seamlessly marries artistry with functionality.

Through my journey, I've realized that the magic lies not just in the ingredients, but in the art of understanding their properties and harnessing their potential. Guided by my artistic intuition and fueled by a commitment to pushing boundaries, I handcraft every piece with meticulous care. From minimalist elegance to intricate designs, I infuse my work with a combination of pigment and acrylic paint that transforms concrete into living art.
