• Racso tells stories through wire sculptures
• He first tinkered with wire in his father’s workshop
• His creative process is also his meditation time

Racso Jugarap is a self-taught wire artist, he never received formal art training. But he did obtain valuable experience at an early age, playing as a child in his father’s jewellery workshop in his native city of General Santos, in the Philippines. “I was not allowed to touch the precious metals, so I experimented with leftovers of the metal wires used to bind the casting materials, lying on the floor,” he explains. “With those, I created wire trinkets that I gifted to my friends.” Racso has lived in several European countries, until he became a full-time artist in Belgium, where he now has his studio. His first works, wire sculptures in the shape of ostrich eggs, were a big success.

Racso Jugarap is a rising star: he began his career in 2016 and he started teaching in 2022.
