Gathering sunlight with a magnifying glass
A pyrography is a form of painting, using a hot iron to iron a mark on an object. The tool used by Jordan Mang-osan, a Filipino artist, was not a soldering iron, but a magnifier that gathered sunlight to create a beautiful landscape and portrait on a wooden board.
According to the American Odditycentral website, Jordan drew a sketch on a wooden board, then used a magnifying glass to gather sunlight, and burned the board according to the sketched lines, leaving permanent traces of thermal etching. It's hard to imagine how the artist didn't touch the wood cloth and create such intricate works. Throughout the entire painting process for several months, Jordan must always pay attention to the angle of the magnifier and the sun's rays, and carefully handle every detail.
Jordan is an Igorote from the Cordillera Mountains region of the Philippines and comes from an economically disadvantaged family. Jordan was interested in painting when he was in elementary school. At the age of 19, he began his artistic career as a painter. He learned to draw money by printing t-shirts and cards from childhood, and was good at using rough local materials for creation.
It is reported that Jordan had won a number of painting prizes in the Philippines and was also a member of the Local Artists Association. His works are exhibited not only in the National Museum of Manila in the Philippines but also in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Australia. But Jordan insists that reputation is only secondarily. It is most important to express the life and culture of local communities through works.
So if you want to create a pretty paint , use magnifying glass create a new style paint.
And you will amaze everyone.
